Description NarayanAras 2021-07-16 15:40:17 UTC

Description:
The open arrowhead style looks totally odd:
1. The arrowhead is not as thick as the line
2. The line and arrowhead are disconnected. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Draw a line
2.Set thickness to 15
3.Set an open arrowhead
4.Check the result

Actual Results:
1. The arrowhead looks too tiny as compared to the line.
2. The line is disconnected from the "V" shape of the arrowhead.

Expected Results:
1. As the line thickness is increased, the arrowhead must grow thicker
2. The line must merge with the center of the "V" of the arrowhead.


Reproducible: Always

Line with arroehead: (a) how drawn in LibreOffice and (b) how it should be.

The figure illustrates the problematic arrowhead as drawn in LibreOffice.
It also shows the arrowhead as it should be drawn.

I think the width issue is the same as bug 126823. However, I also noticed that the arrow width can be maximum 5 cm, so you can create a line that is much wider than its arrow.

About the disconnected look, I guess that could be done with creating another preset. I wonder, if there is a technical limitation in the arrow code that would need to be solved first.

> 3.Set an open arrowhead

You mean the "Line Short" arrow. And you expect the line width of the arrow to follow what is defined for the line itself. Sounds reasonable to me. What do you think, Regina? 

And we should make this a duplicate of bug 126823, the disconnected look should solved if the line widths match.
