This is indeed an error. I have made the change.

This is deliberate. You can use the cex parameter scales the size
of everything. If you need "exact" mark sizes I can look at adding
it.

This was a typo in the saving and restoring of graphical parameters.
The temporary saved value was typed "int" instead of double.

Yes, this is because I ommited the transformation in both "segments"
and "arrows". This is a bug.
All these things will be fixed in 0.50 which is "almost ready to
roll". It is examination / final-grade time here so there may be a
small delay before the release.
