Description

This method draws arrows to represent atoms. Each arrow has a given orientation which is set acording to parameters. This is one way to represent the spin of an atom. These arrows direction are determined by the spin of each atom. It is designed to read two separate files : one containing the position of the atoms, the other containing the spin of each atom. Of course these two files need to have the exact same number of atoms and also need to sort atoms in the same order.
