Re: [wxperl-users] DCPaint Widget Question

Hi,

I don't think there are any 'built ins' for drawing arrows. The 'Join' and 'Cap' styles for the Wx::Pen are best understood if you consider very wide lines. Then, join styles of miter, bevel and round make sense.

For an arrow, I think you are going to have to work out the points that you need to pass to $dc->DrawPolygon.
If you want the arrows to look good when your lines are at a variety of angles, it will probably need some experimentation.

Regards

Mark
