however, to do this in gimp, use the path tool. you can very easily make straight line segments with this tool and Edit-->Stroke Path gives a dialog with several different options and even tools to paint along your paths. also, once you have a line with an arrow that you like, you can duplicate it and use the transformation tools (scale and rotate, for instance) and the move tool to get the same arrow in different sizes and pointing in different directions. you can also export your arrow to svg via the path dialog. right click on the dialog and there is an option to export. then you can easily import your arrow into other images. also, sorry about the web site. it was made for gimp-1.2. the path tool has changed (and improved) about the most of any of the tools since that version of gimp. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
