Arrow color behavior

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

Should arrow color behave similar to text color rather than behaving like plot line color?  That is, I'd think that the default arrow color should be black.  If I understand arrows correctly, they are mostly for annotation although they can be used for many things like dotted lines to show a boundary, etc.

That would avoid red arrows (when not specifying any "rgb" color) by default.  In working with arrows I noticed that behavior then stepping through all.dem I noticed some other examples I hadn't notice before.  Cases where I think black arrow lines would work better than red arrow lines.

I get black arrows on my machines.
I don't know what you've done to get red arrows.
There may be a bug somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look for it.
Do you get red arrows for all terminal types?

Yes, red arrows on the terminals I've checked, anyway.  You get black arrows?  I will investigate.
