drawarrow

drawarrow is a Python package that simplifies (a lot) the process of creating and customising arrows in Matplotlib.

It provides everything you need to create any arrow you can imagine:

• double-headed
• curved
• wide or thin
• with an inflection point
• with a shadow
• And so on...

Quick Start

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from drawarrow import fig_arrow

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.scatter(x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], s=100)

fig_arrow(
    head_position=(0.5, 0.5),
    tail_position=(0.2, 0.7),
    width=2,
    radius=0.3,
    color="darkred",
    fill_head=False,
    mutation_scale=2,
)
