function circular_arrow(figHandle, radius, centre, arrow_angle, angle, direction, colour, head_size, head_style)
% This is a function designed to draw a circular arrow onto the current
% figure. It is required that "hold on" must be called before calling this
% function.
%
% The correct calling syntax is:
% circular_arrow(height, centre, angle, direction, colour, head_size)
% where:
% figHandle - the handle of the figure to be drawn on.
% radius - the radius of the arrow.
% centre - a vector containing the desired centre of the circular
% arrow.
% arrow_angle - the desired orientation angle of the circular arrow.
% This is measured in degrees counter-clockwise
% angle - the angle between starting and end point of the arrow in
% degrees.
% direction - variable set to determine format of arrow head. Use 1
% to get a clockwise arrow, -1 to get a counter clockwise
% arrow, 2 to get a double headed arrow and 0 to get just
% an arc.
% colour (optional) - the desired colour of the arrow, using Matlab's
% <a href="matlab:
% web('https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/colorspec.html')">Color Specification</a>.
% head_size (optional) - the size of the arrow head.
% head_style (optional) - the style of the arrow head.
% For more information, see <a href="matlab:
% web('http://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/annotationarrow-properties.html#property_HeadStyle')">Annotation Arrow Properties</a>.
