A method of vector3d.

solid arrows in space, from the origin, or from anchor, to the tips v; MATLAB’s vector3d/arrow3d

Syntax

arrow3d(v)

Arrows from the origin to v.

arrow3d(zvector, faceColor='r', label='z')

A red arrow named z.

arrow3d(v, anchor=vector3d(1, 0, 0), arrowWidth=0.05)

Arrows from another point, thinner.

arrow3d(Miller(1, 0, 0, cs, 'uvw'), labeled=True)

Every arrow named by its indices.

Description

The arrows go into the held axes in space or into a new figure, whose camera looks down on the screen plane of the plotting convention, and the axes widen to hold every arrow and label drawn so far, at equal scale. A new figure frames the arrows; held axes keep their framing. The coordinates are those of v, in its frame.

Input

`v`	vector3d, the arrows, the tips when anchor is not given

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`faceColor`	`'k'`	the colour of the arrows
`anchor`	`None`	vector3d or (n, 3) array, the tails of the arrows, one for all or one per arrow
`arrowWidth`	`None`	the radius of the tail relative to the length of the arrow, the head 2.5 times as wide; by default the radius follows the longest arrow, for arrows of equal thickness
`edgeColor`	`'none'`	the colour of the edges of the faces, ‘none’ for none
`labeled`	`False`	name every arrow by its indices or coordinates
`label`	`None`	a text at the tip of every arrow, one for all or a list with one per arrow

Output

`h`	the Poly3DCollection of the arrows’ faces
