One more follow-on question: the documented behavior of head_width and head_length is: http://matplotlib.org/api/axes_api.html head_width: float or None (default: 3*width) total width of the full arrow head head_length: float or None (default: 1.5 * head_width) length of arrow head But I believe that does not match the behavior I am seeing. E.g., the following produces two completely different arrow heads. fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1) ax.set_aspect('equal') w=0.01 ax.arrow(0,0,1,1, width=w,head_width=3*w,head_length=1.5*3*w, facecolor='red',edgecolor=None,length_includes_head=True) ax.arrow(0,1,1,-1, width=w, facecolor='k',edgecolor='red',length_includes_head=True) Am I missing something? Also, despite setting `edgecolor=None`, the edge is still stroked.
