y = cos(x);
plotXY(x, y);

/*

** and fill it in with default values
*/
struct plotAnnotation myAnnotation;
myAnnotation = annotationGetDefaults();

// Set line color for arrow
annotationSetLineColor(&myAnnotation, "red");

/*
** Add arrow to 'xy' plot from above
** using settings from 'myAnnotation'
*/
x_start = 0.15;
y_start = 0.2;
x_end = 1;

head_size = 15;
plotAddArrow(myAnnotation, x_start, y_start, x_end, y_end, head_size);
