Arrows

Post by teegate »

All,What is the best way to draw decent arrows using GC? If it is a particular font can you tell me which one and where to get it? I would prefer to be able to make them such as the program Skitch does but I really would prefer to  use GC. I am not talented enough to make a decent arrow using the Pen.Guy

You'll see the font-based arrows you have on your machine already, and there will probably be a good selection.(If you don't have the viewers in your menu bar, you can get them via the Keyboard system preference panel.)

Here is a list of fonts that include arrows: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/arrows.html Or just double click on the line tool and choose your weapon. :-) Carl teegate@comcast.net schrieb am 31.10.13 21:52: > > All, > > What is the best way to draw decent arrows using GC?
