如何制作在matplotlib中循环的箭头？

Question

在matplotlib中绘制一个循环回指向其原点的箭头的正确方法是什么？我试过了:

plt.figure()
plt.xlim([0, 1])
plt.ylim([0, 1])
plt.annotate("", xy=(0.6, 0.9),
             xycoords="figure fraction",
             xytext = (0.6, 0.8),
             textcoords="figure fraction",
             fontsize = 10, \
             color = "k",
             arrowprops=dict(edgecolor='black',
                             connectionstyle="angle,angleA=-180,angleB=45",
                             arrowstyle = '<|-',
                             facecolor="k",
                             linewidth=1,
                             shrinkA = 0,
                             shrinkB = 0))
plt.show()

这没有给出正确的结果:

connectionstyle从这个页面很难理解这些论点(http://matplotlib.org/users/annotations_guide.html).

我正在寻找的是像这样或这样:

更新:链接的答案没有显示如何使用plt.annotate其他功能我想使用.使用$\circlearrowleft$标记的提议不是一个真正的解决方案.

我发现没有办法plt.annotate只使用一次循环,但使用它四次工作:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig,ax = plt.subplots()

# coordinates of the center of the loop
x_center = 0.5 
y_center = 0.5 

radius = 0.2
# linewidth of the arrow
linewidth = 1

ax.annotate("", (x_center + radius, y_center), (x_center, y_center + radius),
            arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-",
                            shrinkA=10,  # creates a gap between the start point and end point of the arrow
                            shrinkB=0,
                            linewidth=linewidth,
                            connectionstyle="angle,angleB=-90,angleA=180,rad=10"))    

ax.annotate("", (x_center, y_center - radius), (x_center + radius, y_center), 
            arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-",
                            shrinkA=0, 
                            shrinkB=0,
                            linewidth=linewidth,
                            connectionstyle="angle,angleB=180,angleA=-90,rad=10"))    

ax.annotate("", (x_center - radius, y_center),  (x_center, y_center - radius), 
            arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-",
                            shrinkA=0, 
                            shrinkB=0,
                            linewidth=linewidth,
                            connectionstyle="angle,angleB=-90,angleA=180,rad=10"))    
ax.annotate("", (x_center, y_center + radius), (x_center - radius, y_center), 
            arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-|>",
                            facecolor="k",
                            linewidth=linewidth,
                            shrinkA=0, 
                            shrinkB=0,
                            connectionstyle="angle,angleB=180,angleA=-90,rad=10"))


plt.show()

似乎创建易于修改的循环箭头的最简单方法是使用补丁.我已粘贴代码以执行此操作.更改变量部分中的变量,事物应该全部旋转并缩放.您可以使用创建箭头的补丁来制作不同的形状,但我怀疑这个三角形是最简单的.

%matplotlib inline
# from __future__ import division #Uncomment for python2.7
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Arc, RegularPolygon
import numpy as np
from numpy import radians as rad

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9,9))
ax = plt.gca()
def drawCirc(ax,radius,centX,centY,angle_,theta2_,color_='black'):
    #========Line
    arc = Arc([centX,centY],radius,radius,angle=angle_,
          theta1=0,theta2=theta2_,capstyle='round',linestyle='-',lw=10,color=color_)
    ax.add_patch(arc)


    #========Create the arrow head
    endX=centX+(radius/2)*np.cos(rad(theta2_+angle_)) #Do trig to determine end position
    endY=centY+(radius/2)*np.sin(rad(theta2_+angle_))

    ax.add_patch(                    #Create triangle as arrow head
        RegularPolygon(
            (endX, endY),            # (x,y)
            3,                       # number of vertices
            radius/9,                # radius
            rad(angle_+theta2_),     # orientation
            color=color_
        )
    )
    ax.set_xlim([centX-radius,centY+radius]) and ax.set_ylim([centY-radius,centY+radius]) 
    # Make sure you keep the axes scaled or else arrow will distort

drawCirc(ax,1,1,1,0,250)
drawCirc(ax,2,1,1,90,330,color_='blue')
plt.show()
