matplotlib 3.5.1

_find_tails(self, mag, rounding=True, half=5, full=10, flag=50)

This returns a tuple of:

(number of flags, number of barbs, half_flag, empty_flag)

The bool half_flag indicates whether half of a barb is needed, since there should only ever be one half on a given barb. empty_flag flag is an array of flags to easily tell if a barb is empty (too low to plot any barbs/flags.

Find how many of each of the tail pieces is necessary. Flag specifies the increment for a flag, barb for a full barb, and half for half a barb. Mag should be the magnitude of a vector (i.e., >= 0).

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
