ARROW (5/02/2023) Draw a line with an arrowhead.
ARROW(Start,Stop) draws a line with an arrow from Start to Stop (points should be vectors of length 2 or 3, or matrices with 2 or 3 columns), and returns the graphics handle of the arrow(s). By itself, ARROW will use the mouse to allow selection.
ARROW DEMO & ARROW DEMO2 show 3-D & 2-D demos of the capabilities of ARROW.
ARROW PROPERTIES shows the properties that can be set (length, base angle, tip angle, width, which ends have arrowheads, etc.)

1.2.0.0

actually update the file (not just the description); correct view on demo

Replace "eval('trycmd','catchcmd')" with "try, trycmd; catch, catchcmd; end;", which break's compatibility with MATLAB 5 but improves compliance with newer versions.
