I need to draw polygonal paths, with an arrow tip placed at the end of each segment like in the figure below.

The above image was made with Inkscape (I had to literally create the triangles for the arrow tips at A and B and orient them appropriately).

Can I get such arrowheads automatically in Asymptote? From what I can gather from the manual, there are a large variety of arrowtip shapes available but no option to place them at the ends of each segment of a polygonal path.

The code below for instance produces

unitsize(5cm);
settings.outformat = "png"; 

draw((0,0) -- (1,0.2) -- (0,1)--(2,2), arrow=Arrow); 

where the arrow is only at the endpoint (2,2).

I don't know of a built-in way to do it, but here is a short function I wrote to do it. It uses the built-in length() and subpath() functions.

unitsize(5cm);
settings.outformat = "png"; 

void segmentArrows(path p) 
 for (int i = 0; i < length(p); ++i) 
 draw(subpath(p, i, i+1), arrow=Arrow);
 


segmentArrows((0,0)--(1,0.2)--(0,1)--(2,2));
