Hi

Just had a thought - I've been trying to write data-structure diagrams,
and have not being enjoying dia. I decided gschem might just do the job
nicely (self documentation ;)) however there is a missing primitive..
lines with arrows on the end.

It occurs to me that arrows may be a useful thing to have in gschem
anyway, so this is a RFC on the idea.

Could be coded into the line somewhere as:

End A arrow = { none ; filled ; unfilled }
End B arrow = { none ; filled ; unfilled }

Perhaps more types, closed or non-closed:

__|\  or  ____\
  |/          /

Would we make size adjustable - per end?
Color?
If the line were dashed - would the arrow be?
Would an un-filled arrow show the line segment through the arrow head,
or would it just abut onto the arrow.
