OK, got that part working, except it is not a solution to my
problem. I need to draw lines that looks like this: (The A is an
arrowhead) | | A |______|
The problem is that your method sets the default line as having an
arrowhead that is 5 pts wide by 8 pts high (that's what I chose with
nothing selected). That works for the line with the A on top. But
then, when I go to draw the other two lines they come out with an
arrowhead also. So
now I
have to go in and change the default back to no arrowhead. Back and forth,
back and forth. What am I supposed to do if I want arrowheads only on
some lines, but whenever there *is* an arrowhead I want it 5 pts by 8 pts,
not the default 10 pts by 10 pts?
What I need is for the arrowhead style to keep the dimensions, but that
doesn't seem to be possible. Maybe a solution would be to find the config
file where it says to start all arrowheads at 10 x 10, and change the setting
to 5 x 8.
Thanks for the suggestion. At least it solved the problem with Blue-8 color.
