ARROW
[GREG2\]ARROW Xref Yref Length Angle [Reference]
This command draws one or more arrows at given position, and of given
length, and angle:
- Xref and Yref define a reference point (in user coordinates) for the
arrow. The Reference value (5th argument) indicates where this point
lies on the arrow (0 for the start of the arrow, 0.5 for the middle
of the arrow, 1 for the tip of the arrow). Any intermediate value is
valid; default is 0.5.
- Length defines the arrow length, in paper units (cm).
- Angle defines the arrow orientation angle. It is ALWAYS in DEGREES,
TRIGONOMETRIC ORIENTATION.
Additionally, the arrow head size can be customized with SET EXPAND.
All the 5 arguments can be scalar explicit values or scalar variable
names: this will draw a single arrow. But the 4 first arguments can also
be array variables: this will draw as many arrows as the arrays provide
values (their size have to be consistant). Mixing scalar and array vari-
able is possible, e.g.
GREG> ARROW Xarray Yarray 1 AngleArray
will draw a set of arrows at different positions and orientation angles,
but all of same length.
In order to draw arrows defined by a starting point and ending point co-
ordinates, use commands G\DRAW RELO and G\DRAW ARROW.
