Regarding increasing arrow head size

How to increase the arrowhead size in quiver plot
I tried using this command line
h2 = quiver(x,y,u,v)
set(h2,'AutoScale','on', 'AutoScaleFactor',0.8,'color','k','HeadLength',8,'HeadWidth',8,'linewidth',2)
But there is no change in arrow head size
I tried with 'MaxHeadSize' 0.2 also
Can anyone suggest on this.
Thanking you

@CODER, which version of Matlab are you using ?
'HeadLength', 'HeadWidth' Properties are not present in quiver appearance properties.

Hi, I understand that you want to increase the arrow head size, but it seems that changing the 'MaxHeadSize' property while the 'AutoScale' is 'on' doesn't work.
Set 'AutoScale' to 'off', and then change the 'MaxHeadSize' property and you will see the Arrow head size changing
Con: The plot might be hard to read due to AutoScale being off

Sorry that didn't work out. I tried with MaxHeadSize=10 but no change
It should have worked.
Did you try it like this?
h2 = quiver(x,y,u,v)
h2.AutoScale = 0
h2.MaxHeadSize = 10
Addition of this has no change.
