How can I add the arrow on the end of xaxis and yaxis like an normal coordinate system.

There’s no easy way to do that at the moment unfortunately.

You can try adding a couple `showarrow: true` annotations on top of the axes to get close the desired result.

Thanks a lot. That’s the same as what I came up with.
