##### Arguments
p

Polygons (either a 2 column matrix or data.frame; or a SpatialPolygons* object

length

length of the edges of the arrow head (in inches)

first

Character to plot on first (and last) vertex

##### Note

Based on an example in Software for Data Analysis by John Chambers (pp 250-251) but adjusted such that the line segments follow great circles between vertices.
