Can you elaborate why you cannot just use shrinkA and shrinkB?
arrows = FancyArrowPatch(posA=(x1, y1), posB=(x2, y2),
color = 'k',
arrowstyle="-|>",
mutation_scale=700**.5,
shrinkA=(700**.5)*.5, shrinkB=(700**.5)*.5,
connectionstyle="arc3")
What the problem of doing above?
Note that the unit of shrinkA and shrinkB is points, and they are
independent of mutation_scale, which only affects the size of the arrow.
