    This function creates a 3D arrow between two points defined by the input limits xlim, ylim, zlim. It first calculates the start and end points, then the length of the arrow. It generates the cylindrical shape for the arrow using surf2patch with triangles. The arrow is then rotated if needed so it points in the direction of the vector between the start and end points. Metadata about the arrow is stored in the graphic object's userData property.
