Thanks, that's simple and has got me going fairly well. It essentially lets me stamp an arrow on the image. Using layers I can rotate and change colours, and no doubt I'll be able to figure out resizing in another few minutes. Much better than where I had got to - basically as per Caleb's suggestion of shift clicking and doing a series of lines to make an arrow, with varying and inconsistent results.

Thanks for all the replies.

Hi, I am putting together some articles on a wiki, and including some screen shots on which I want to draw an arrow to point to a particular part of the screen. I thought this would be a really simple task but am yet to find some cool tools to help with this. I can use gimp to draw 3 lines to make an arrow but really my drawing skills still suck badly as they have all my life. Does anyone know of a package that has a tool to draw arrows? Or a method via gimp to draw a proper arrow?

Cheers,
Roger
