The function arrow() works for me (Python 2.6.5, matplotlib 99.1.2). 
Perhaps something in your installation needs to be changed.
You might try pylab.Arrow() to create patches or perhaps quiver() which 
draws a whole set of arrows.

I suggest spending sometime going through the matplotlib gallery. [

This example should give you a good start for multiple axes plotting

I want to use more than 2 axes in my plot, for example yleft,yright, butoom
or top, is it possible?
any body had done it before?
I read in matplotlib's document that : " matplotlib is organized around
figures and axes. The figure contains an arbitrary number of axes, which can
be placed anywhere in the figure you want, including over other axes. You
can directly create and manage your own figures and axes."
How?

I'd like to plot some arrows. I can use the pyplot.arrow function but it
does not give an arrow head. I am trying to use FancyArrow in the following
way:
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(None)
ax = plt.gca()
arr = mpl.patches.FancyArrowPatch((0,0),(3,2),arrowstyle='simple')
ax.add_patch(arr)
plt.show()
but I get "ValueError: Given lines do not intersect" in the bezier.py file.
(Full traceback below)
Thanks for any hints!
