更新matplotlib中的箭头位置

我想在循环图中更新箭头位置。我发现这个post对于补丁是矩形的情况有一个类似的问题。下面,在上述帖子中提出的解决方案中增加了Arrow补丁。

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle, Arrow
import numpy as np

nmax = 10
xdata = range(nmax)
ydata = np.random.random(nmax)


fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(xdata, ydata, 'o-')
ax.xaxis.set_ticks(xdata)
plt.ion()

rect = plt.Rectangle((0, 0), nmax, 1, zorder=10)
ax.add_patch(rect)

arrow = Arrow(0,0,1,1)
ax.add_patch(arrow)

for i in range(nmax):
    rect.set_x(i)
    rect.set_width(nmax - i)

    #arrow.what --> which method?

    fig.canvas.draw()
    plt.pause(0.1)

Arrow补丁的问题在于它显然没有与Rectangle补丁所具有的位置相关的set方法。欢迎任何提示。

matplotlib.patches.Arrow确实没有更新其位置的方法。虽然可以动态地改变它的变换,但我想最简单的解决方案是简单地删除它并在动画的每一步中添加一个新箭头。

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle, Arrow
import numpy as np

nmax = 9
xdata = range(nmax)
ydata = np.random.random(nmax)

plt.ion()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_aspect("equal")
ax.plot(xdata, ydata, 'o-')
ax.set_xlim(-1,10)
ax.set_ylim(-1,4)


rect = Rectangle((0, 0), nmax, 1, zorder=10)
ax.add_patch(rect)

x0, y0 = 5, 3
arrow = Arrow(1,1,x0-1,y0-1, color="#aa0088")

a = ax.add_patch(arrow)

plt.draw()

for i in range(nmax):
    rect.set_x(i)
    rect.set_width(nmax - i)

    a.remove()
    arrow = Arrow(1+i,1,x0-i+1,y0-1, color="#aa0088")
    a = ax.add_patch(arrow)

    fig.canvas.draw_idle()
    plt.pause(0.4)

plt.waitforbuttonpress()    
plt.show()
