Graph mode "Arrow to next"

Tue, 02/28/2017 - 08:11 am

Hi,

I always struggle around, if I have to use arrows in graphs. Up to now, the only way seems to be a tag. But in a tag you cannot exactly definie length and direction of an arrow. So the easiest thing would be to be able to place a trace on a graph that draws an arrow to the next data point. Then I can define arrows from traces. And I can also draw directional graphs on maps etc...

Best regards,
Joerg.

As a possible starting point for you, I suggest looking at the IP7 Examples-->Graphing Techniques --> Arrow Plot.pxp
Basically, you create a marker wave defined by the points you want to connect.

Perhaps the arrowMarker keyword of ModifyGraph is what you're looking for?

For more information, execute the following command on Igor's command line:

DisplayHelpTopic "ModifyGraph for Traces"

Then scroll down a bit to the arrowMarker keyword. There's also a textMarker parameter which might be of some use.
