In matplotlib, patches have two colors; facecolor and edgecolor. So, try something like this
arrowprops=dict(facecolor=((0.549,0.176,0.0156)), edgecolor=(0.549,0.176,0.0156), shrink=0.02,width=1,headwidth=6,frac=0.05), Regards, -JJ On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 10:35 AM, Brad Malone <brad.mal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I am trying to draw a brown arrow to a particular part of my figure but > am having some difficulty.
