They are shown here mostly for comparison. The picture is as most of the other pictures scaled by five. To use the original arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(orig); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{The default arrows of the \texttt{mparrows} module} \label{sec:stand-arrows-mparrows} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples1.mps} The default arrow of the \texttt{mparrows} module look similar to the original arrows of MetaPost. However there is a little difference. See section~\vref{sec:diff-betw-orig}. To use the default arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(default); \end{lstlisting} or do nothing -- it's default. \end{example} \subsection{Unfilled arrow heads} \label{sec:unfilled-arrow-heads} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples2.mps} Arrows just with the same outline as the default arrows but not filled. To use the unfilled default arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(defaultunfilled); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{Sharp arrow heads} \label{sec:sharp-arrow-heads} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples3.mps} Arrows just with the same path for the arrow head as the default arrows but only filled -- the outline is not drawn. The tip of the arrow is exactly at the end of the path. To use the sharp default arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(defaultsharp); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{Barbed arrows} \label{sec:barbed-arrows-1} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples4.mps} With the same `outer' lines as the default arrow but the back of the arrow head has barbs. To use the barbed arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(barbed); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{Unfilled barbed arrows} \label{sec:unfill-barb-arrows} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples5.mps} The barbed arrow unfilled. To use the unfilled barbed arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(barbedunfilled); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{Sharp barbed arrows} \label{sec:sharp-barbed-arrows} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples6.mps} The barbed arrow sharp. To use the sharp barbed arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(barbedsharp); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \subsection{Open arrowheads} \label{sec:open-arrowheads} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples7.mps} With the same `outer' lines as the default arrow but the back of the arrow head is not drawn. To use the open arrows type \begin{lstlisting} setarrows(open); \end{lstlisting} \end{example} \section{The \texttt{barbed} arrows} \label{sec:barbed-arrows} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples33.mps} The \texttt{barbed} arrows are configured via the \barbedarrowindent\ value. \barbedarrowindent\ is the ratio of the inner diameter of the barbed arrows (\textcolor{green}{green} circle) to the outer diameter of the barbed arrows (\textcolor{red}{red} circle). \end{example} %\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples33.mps} The \barbedarrowindent\ value is set with \begin{lstlisting} barbedarrowindent:=.6; \end{lstlisting} Below arrows with different values of \barbedarrowindent\ are displayed. \begin{description} \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples10.mps}] %0 %\item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples11.mps}] %0.2 \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples12.mps}] %0.4 %\item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples13.mps}] %0.6 \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples14.mps}] %0.8 %\item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples15.mps}] %1 \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples16.mps}] %1.2 %\item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples17.mps}] %1.4 \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples18.mps}] %1.6 %\item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples19.mps}] %1.8 \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples20.mps}] %2.0 \end{description} \subsection{Negative values} \label{sec:negative-values} As the arrows are defined using circles negative values of \barbedarrowindent\ gives the same as the positives. \begin{description} \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples13.mps}] \item[\includegraphics{mparrowsexamples30.mps}] \end{description} \section{The difference between the original and the default arrows} \label{sec:diff-betw-orig} The only (and invisible) difference between the original arrows of MetaPost and the default arrows of the \texttt{mparrows} module is how the path is drawn: \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples31.mps} In the original definition the path is drawn as normal. \end{example} \begin{example}{mparrowsexamples32.mps} In the \texttt{mparrows} default the path is cut after the arrow head. This allows for making the arrow heads unfilled (see section~\ref{sec:unfilled-arrow-heads}) or sharp (see section~\ref{sec:sharp-arrow-heads}). \end{example} \clearpage % \section{Source of \texttt{mparrows.mp}} % \label{sec:source-texttt} % \lstinputlisting{mparrows.mp} % \clearpage \section{Copyright and license} \label{sec:license} Copyright 2016, Palle Jørgensen, hamselv(at)pallej.dk This file is part of the mparrows MetaPost module. mparrows is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. mparrows is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
