arrow heads on lines

Hi,

I would like to be able to draw lines with arrow heads on the end of them, and for this to work with latest Gimp 2.2.10 on both linux and windows - what is the best solution ?

Thanks dave

Are you restricted to using the GIMP?

The GIMP is primarily not a drawing tool. To do the task you just described, another program, Inkscape[1], fits the bill perfectly. It is compiled to work on GNU/Linux and MS Windows.

And you can import some SVG (which Inkscape produces) back in to the gimp as a path. Not sure if the arrowheads will make it, but it's worth a try.
