Description

Model FixedArrow defines an arrow that is shown at the location of its frame_a.
 

model Visualizers.FixedArrow

The direction of the arrow specified with vector n is with respect to frame_a, i.e., the local frame to which the arrow component is attached. The direction and length of the arrow, its diameter and color can vary dynamically by providing appropriate expressions in the input fields of the parameter menu.
