为参数图添加方向箭头

Question

我正在尝试沿参数曲线的路径添加方向箭头。我已经知道如何制作下面的曲线（忽略红色抛物线）：

\begin{document}

\section{2D Plots}

\begin{tikzpicture}

\begin{axis}[xmin=-10, xmax=10, ymin=-10, ymax=10, 
axis lines=middle,
xlabel = $x$,
ylabel = $y$]

\addplot[color=red]{4-x^2};
\addplot[ domain=0:5*pi,
    samples = 120, color = blue]
({2*cos(deg(2*x))},
{4*sin(deg(3*x)});

\end{axis}

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Answer 1

在pgfplots文档部分 4.17.4 将装饰放置在图的顶部。

Smooth图在连续点之间平滑插入。使用fpu，可以更精确地进行装饰。

            ylabel = $y$]

        \addplot[

            blue,samples=127,domain=0:5*pi,

                    % mark=at position 0.5 with {\arrow{stealth}},
                    % mark=at position 0.75 with {\arrow{stealth}}
                }
        ]({2*cos(deg(2*x))},{4*sin(deg(3*x)});
    \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
