[matplotlib-devel] curved quiver arrows

[<jas...@cr...>]

How hard would it be to extend the quiver command to support curved 
arrows?  For example, the U and V arrays, instead of giving just the 
vector, could for each vector give a list of x coordinates and a list of 
y coordinates for each segment of a vector.  Additionally, C could give 
either a color for the curved vector, or a list of colors for each 
segment of the vector.

Thanks,

Jason

Very hard.  I would recommend starting from scratch with a new class.  I 
think that very little of the present Quiver code would be usable.

Okay.  Thanks for the estimate.
