Arrow
The Arrow plug-in allows you to create and customize an arrow geometry. The arrow is a 2D object. By clicking on the arrow icon in a container, the arrow editor opens. The default arrow has two heads. At the tip of each arrowhead the reference points are placed. The left point is 1 and the right is 2.
