Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting Arrows
To: Gus Ishere <gus.is.h...@gmail.com>
This turns out to be a bug.
And I think fixed it with r8720 and r8721.
Meanwhile, try to use other arrowstyles (e.g., "->") or other arrow commands.
Also, the recommend way is to use "annotate" command. For example,
ax.annotate("", (0, 0), (3,2), arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->"))
