Syntax:

[from, to, color, pars, fill, map] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow

Parameters:

from: Array - arrow start position in format [x,y] or [x,y,z]

to: Array - arrow end position in format [x,y] or [x,y,z]

color: Array format Color (RGBA) - (Optional, default [1,1,1,1]) arrow line or fill color

pars: Array - (Optional) arrow geometry details in format [arrowThickness, arrowHeadLengthCoef, arrowHeadWidthCoef], where:

arrowThickness: Number - (Optional, default 10) arrow thickness in meters
arrowHeadLengthCoef: Number - (Optional, default 1/3) arrow head length compared to the total length of the arrow
arrowHeadWidthCoef: Number - (Optional, default 2) arrow head width compared to the arrow thickness
1.98 arrowBaseWidthCoef: Number - (Optional, default 1) arrow base width compared to the arrow thickness

fill: Boolean - (Optional, default true) true to draw color filled arrow, false to draw outline

map: Control - (Optional, default display 12 displayCtrl 51) map control

Return Value:

Array - arrow reference for removal in format [idd, idc, ehId] or empty array [] on removal operation

Example 1:: Draw a semi-transparent, blue arrow with default geometry:
myArrow1 = [_pos1, _pos2, [0,0,1,0.5]] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow;
Example 2:: Draw a wide, green arrow outline:
myArrow2 = [_pos1, _pos2, [0,1,0,1], [20], false] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow;
Example 3:: Draw a thin, red arrow with custom head geometry:
myArrow3 = [_pos1, _pos2, [1,0,0,1], [1,1/5,5]] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow;
Example 4:: Remove the arrow created in Example 3:
myArrow3 call BIS_fnc_drawArrow;
Example 5:: myArrow1 = [[100,400,0], [200,500,0], [1,0,0,1], [20], true] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow; myArrow2 = [[400,700,0], [300,600,0], [0,1,0,1], [20, 1/3, 2, 2], true] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow; myArrow3 = [[600,700,0], [400,900,0], [0,0,1,1], [20, 1/3, 2, 0.5], true] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow; myArrow4 = [[100,100,0], [200,200,0], [0,0,0,1], [20], false] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow; myArrow5 = [[400,400,0], [300,300,0], [1,1,1,1], [20, 1/3, 2, 2], false] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow; myArrow6 = [[600,400,0], [400,600,0], [0,1,1,1], [20, 1/3, 2, 0.5], false] call BIS_fnc_drawArrow;
