examples of the general <em>arrow style</em> constructions
<P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=3 COLS=1><TR><TD><code>@</code><em>variant</em><code>{</code><em>tail</em> <em>shaft</em>
<em>head</em><code>}</code><TR><TD>
<code>@</code><em>variant</em><code>{</code><em>head</em><code>}</code>
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
that in describes arrows with the indicated <em>tail</em>,
<em>shaft</em>, and <em>head</em> (on the first form the tail and
head can be omitted; the second style defaults to having no tail and
a standard shaft).
<P>
The following possibilities exist for <em>head</em> and <em>tail</em>
which we will denote <em>tips</em> (here shown as heads):
<P><CENTER><P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=5 COLS=1><TR><TD><IMG WIDTH=386 HEIGHT=137 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="tex2html_wrap2594" SRC="img36.gif">
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
</CENTER><P>
and the <em>shaft</em> should be one of the following:
<P><CENTER><P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=5 COLS=1><TR><TD><IMG WIDTH=302 HEIGHT=95 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="tex2html_wrap2596" SRC="img37.gif">
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
</CENTER><P>
The <em>variant</em> should be empty or one of the following:
<P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=3 COLS=2><TR><TD><code>^</code> <TD> "above" variant <TR><TD>
<code>_</code> <TD> "below" variant <TR><TD>
<code>2</code> <TD> "double" variant <TR><TD>
<code>3</code> <TD> "triple" variant
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
Here are some standard arrows in this notation, all from <I>A</I> to <I>B</I>
as usual:
<P><CENTER><BR><IMG WIDTH=252 HEIGHT=137 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="displaymath579" SRC="img38.gif"><BR></CENTER><P>
As a special convenience <code>=</code> and <code>:</code> are provided as abbreviations
for <code>-</code> and <code>.</code> with variant forced to <code>2</code>.
<P>
As it can be seen, the variant will affect the <em>entire</em> arrow.
Sometimes this is not what is wanted. In that case a <em>local variant</em> can be used by entering any of the <em>tail</em>,
<em>shaft</em>, and <em>head</em>, on the following form:
<P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=3 COLS=1><TR><TD><em>variant</em><code>{</code><em>tip</em><code>}</code><TR><TD>
<em>variant</em><code>{</code><em>shaft</em><code>}</code>
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
Here are some arrows where this is required:
<P><CENTER><BR><IMG WIDTH=268 HEIGHT=48 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="displaymath607" SRC="img39.gif"><BR></CENTER><P>
Notice that there is no distinction between shafts and tips using
this form, thus it is necessary to include all three of
<em>tail</em>, <em>shaft</em>, and <em>head</em>, when using it. The
advantage is that it is possible then to "fill with a tip." Furthermore, the following additional
possibilities are available when using this notation:
<P><CENTER><P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=5 COLS=1><TR><TD><IMG WIDTH=428 HEIGHT=94 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="tex2html_wrap2602" SRC="img40.gif">
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
</CENTER><P>
<P>
The even more general form <code>*</code><em>object</em> can be used, where
<em>object</em> refers to any of the constructions described in
section <A HREF="node13.html#arrowsobjects">2.2</A>.
