If somebody does not see what is my problem let me be more specific.
Compare the head of the three arrows below:
In[2116]:=
xar = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Arrow[{0, 0}, {7.5, 0}, HeadLength -
> 0.04, HeadWidth -> 0.5, HeadCenter -> 0]}];
zar = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Arrow[{0, 0}, {0, -7.5}, HeadLength -
> 0.04, HeadWidth -> 0.5, HeadCenter -> 0]}];
yar = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Arrow[{0, 0}, {-6, -2.4}, HeadLength
-> 0.04, HeadWidth -> 0.5, HeadCenter -> 0]}];
Show[xar, yar, zar, ImageSize -> 800]
Please pay special attention to the look of the vertical (called zar
above) arrow.
Quite nasty appearance; don't you agree?
I think Mathematica encountered a bug in the graphics rendering.
I am interested in any ideas of fixing it.
I have tried
In[2545]:=
xaxis = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{0, 0}, {8, 0}}]}];
xaxisar1 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{8, 0}, {7.4, 0.15}}]}];
xaxisar2 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{8, 0}, {7.4,
-0.15}}]}];
yaxis = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{0, 0}, {-5, -2}}]}];
yaxisar1 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{-5, -2}, {-4.5,
-1.6}}]}];
yaxisar2 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{-5, -2}, {-4.4,
-2}}]}];
zaxis = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{0, 0}, {0, -7}}]}];
zaxisar1 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{0, -7}, {-0.2,
-6.5}}]}];
zaxisar2 = Graphics[{Thickness[0.007], Line[{{0, -7}, {0.2,
-6.5}}]}];
Show[xaxis, yaxis, zaxis, xaxisar1, xaxisar2, yaxisar1, yaxisar2,
zaxisar1, zaxisar2, ImageSize -> 800]
but I am looking for a workaround with Arrow. I am aware of HeadShape
option
with Polygon and lines setting but it look not very easy for me.
Thanks a lot!
