SUBROUTINE ARROW

 ARROW plots a vector arrow at any desired point and with any desired angle. The type of arrowhead drawn may be selected.

CALL ARROW (x,y,al,a,p,b)

x,y  (R): location coordinates for vector-arrow tail
al   (R): length of arrow in plot units
          if al=0, only a single point at (x,y) is output
a    (R): angle from horizontal at which the arrow is to be drawn
          (deg counterclockwise)
p    (R): length of arrowhead in plot units
          > 0 open arrowhead    ( --> )
          = 0 no arrowhead
          < 0 closed arrowhead  ( -|> )
b    (R): angle between arrowhead side and arrow line (deg)
