arrows 函数用来在一张图表上添加箭头，只需要分别指定起始坐标和终止坐标，就可以添加箭头了，还可以通过一些属性对箭头的形状，大小进行调整

基本用法：

xo, yo 指定起始点的x和y坐标，x1, y1 指定终止点的x和y坐标， 代码示例如下：

plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4)

效果如下：

 

x0, y0,x1,y1 支持一次设置多个值，同时画多个箭头，示例代码如下：

plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n")arrows(x0 = c(1, 1),  y0 = c(1, 2),  x1 = c(4, 4), y1 = c(4, 5))

 

效果如下：

参数调整：

length ： 该参数一次只能设置一个值，默认值为0.25， 为了调整不同箭头的大小，建议分别设置，用法如下：

par(mfrow = c(1,3))plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "length = 0.1")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 0.1)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "length = 0.5")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 0.5)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "length = 1")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 1)

 

效果如下：

code : 调整箭头的类型，一共有1,2,3,4 共四种类型，该参数一次只能设置一个值，四种类型具体可以看下面的效果图

代码如下：

par(mfrow = c(1,3))plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "code = 1")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, code = 1)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "code = 2")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, code = 2)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "code = 3")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, code = 3)

 

效果图如下：

code = 1 代表箭头由终止点指向起始点

code = 2 是默认值，箭头由起始点指向终止点

code = 3 代表在起始点和终止点两端都标上箭头

angle :  设置箭头的角度，默认值是45，该参数一次只能设置一个值，代码如下：

par(mfrow = c(1,3))plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "angle = 15")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 0.5, angle = 15)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "angle = 45")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 0.5, angle = 45)plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n", main = "angle = 60")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, length = 0.5, angle = 60)

 

效果图如下：

除了上面的针对arrows 的特殊参数之外，也支持一些通用的参数，col , lty ,lwd 等

代码如下：

plot(1:5, 1:5, xlim = c(0,6), ylim = c (0,6), type = "n")arrows(x0 = 1, y0 = 1, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, col = "red", lwd = 2, lty = 3)

效果图如下：
