.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Defines abstract interface for arrow drawing routines\&.
.PP
Arrow needs to be drawn horizontally with arrow tip at coordinate 0,0\&. arrowLength() shall return the entire length of the arrow (needed to translate the arrow for tail/centered alignment)\&. setArrowLength() defines arror length in pixels (screen coordinates)\&. It can be implemented to adjust other geometric properties such as the head size and width of the arrow\&. It is \fIalways\fP called before \fBpaint()\fP\&.
.PP
A new arrow implementation can be set with QwtPlotVectorField::setArrowSymbol(), whereby ownership is transferred to the plot field\&.
