\starttext \startMPpage[offset=3pt] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \startMPpage[offset=1cm] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \stoptext Compile with context. /Mikael On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 7:07 PM Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote: > > The arrow looks fine to me in ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.10 08:36 LMTX.
