Thanks Zach,
That simple little example makes more sense than the manual page did. Perhaps it's just late.
I appreciate it.

I've got some verts I stole from the internet that draws an upward arrow

scatter(1,1,s=100, marker=None, verts=arrowup_verts)
Can someone make me new verts for the right and left arrow? Then, maybe
tomorrow, explain how I was supposed to know what to do.Draw a line from (0,0) to (-1, -1) on the X-Y plane, and then to (0,0) again, and then continue so forth for all the (x,y) pairs in arrowup_verts. You will notice they form a nice little arrow pointing up. (At some point in this process, you should note that "verts" is short for "vertices". As in vertices of a polygon or poly-line.)
It would seem that the origin of the "verts" coordinate system is translated to the (x,y) data position at which each marker is plotted.
This should give you, I presume, sufficient information to figure out your own left and right arrows, no? Or any other shape you should care to plot...

Thanks y'all
