Description

An instance of the class arrow-pinboard-object is a pinboard-object that draws itself as an arrow.

head must be :end, :middle or:start. The default is :end.

head-direction must be :forwards, :backwards or :both. The default is :forwards.

head-length is the length of the arrowhead in pixels. It defaults to 12.

head-breadth is the breadth of the arrowhead in pixels, or nil which means that the breadth is half of head-length. The default is nil.

head-graphics-args is a plist of graphics state parameters and values used when drawing the arrow head. For information about the graphics state, see graphics-state.
