R help - Mar 2007 - arrowhead styles

Hi all,

I've been using the arrows() function in plots a lot, but I'm not  
happy with the appearance of the arrow heads. I understand that arrows 
() doesn't offer more sophisticated arrowhead shapes like e.g. a  
filled triangle, possibly with choice of angle at the point. Does  
anyone know an easy way to achieve this?

thanks
Hendrik

One way would be to use the grid function arrow(). Paul Murrell's document
on "Integrating Grid Graphics Output
with Base Graphics Output" has an example of integrating grid graphics
arrows in base graphics.

There's also an Arrows() function in the package IDPMisc.
