gplot.arrow draws a segment or arrow between two pairs of points; unlike arrows or segments, the new plot element is drawn as a polygon.
gplot.arrow(x0, y0, x1, y1, length = 0.1, angle = 20, width = 0.01,
col = 1, border = 1, lty = 1, offset.head = 0, offset.tail = 0,
arrowhead = TRUE, curve = 0, edge.steps = 50, ...)A vector of x coordinates for points of origin
A vector of y coordinates for points of origin
A vector of x coordinates for destination points
A vector of y coordinates for destination points
Arrowhead length, in current plotting units
Arrowhead angle (in degrees)
Width for arrow body, in current plotting units (can be a vector)
Arrow body color (can be a vector)
Arrow border color (can be a vector)
Arrow border line type (can be a vector)
Offset for destination point (can be a vector)
Offset for origin point (can be a vector)
Boolean; should arrowheads be used? (Can be a vector))
Degree of edge curvature (if any), in current plotting units (can be a vector)
For curved edges, the number of steps to use in approximating the curve (can be a vector)
Additional arguments to polygon
None.
gplot.arrow provides a useful extension of segments and arrows when fine control is needed over the resulting display. (The results also look better.) Note that edge curvature is quadratic, with curve providing the maximum horizontal deviation of the edge (left-handed). Head/tail offsets are used to adjust the end/start points of an edge, relative to the baseline coordinates; these are useful for functions like gplot, which need to draw edges incident to vertices of varying radii.

#Plot two points

#Add an edge
gplot.arrow(1,1,2,2,width=0.01,col="red",border="black")
