When the -|> style was added to FancyArrowPatch, the purpose was to add an arrow style with a certain style shaft, but a solid head [1]. However, since the given linestyle is used for the outline of the head, we can have arrowheads that look very odd. Here is the example input and output:
http://aleph.sagemath.org/?q=0b7e7b41-e6cc-4cfe-b176-e42ece3565c9 from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, show from matplotlib.patches import FancyArrowPatch fig = figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111,autoscale_on=False,) p = FancyArrowPatch((0,0), (1,1), arrowstyle='-|>,head_width=8,head_length=16',lw=3,fc='k',ec='k',linestyle='dashed') ax.add_patch(p) show() Is there an easy fix to make the arrowhead have a solid linestyle, even if the shaft is dashed? Is this desirable to anyone else besides me?
