# Ace::Graphics::Glyph::anchored\_arrow(3pm)

The "anchored\_arrow" glyph

## NAME

Ace::Graphics::Glyph::anchored\_arrow - The "anchored\_arrow" glyph

## SYNOPSIS

```
  See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.
```

## DESCRIPTION

This glyph draws an arrowhead which is anchored at one or both ends (has a vertical base) or has one or more arrowheads.  The arrowheads indicate that the feature does not end at the edge of the picture, but continues.  For example:

```
    |-----------------------------|          both ends in picture
 <----------------------|                    left end off picture
         |---------------------------->      right end off picture
 <------------------------------------>      both ends off picture
```

### OPTIONS

In addition to the standard options, this glyph recognizes the following:

```
  Option         Description                Default
  -tick          draw a scale               0
  -rel_coords    use relative coordinates   false
                 for scale
```

The argument for b\<-tick\> is an integer between 0 and 2 and has the same interpretation as the b\<-tick\> option in Ace::Graphics::Glyph::arrow.

If b\<-rel\_coords\> is set to a true value, then the scale drawn on the glyph will be in relative (1-based) coordinates relative to the beginning of the glyph.

## BUGS

Please report them.
