[solved] Remove arrow on square

Postby Grobe » Fri Oct 15, 2010 2:08 am

Hi.

This is possible a bug that still remains in version 0.48+devel r9797.

The global settings for :tool_rectangle: is to use last used style. Unfortunately, Inkscape don't seem to bother what kind of object that this style arrives from. In this case from a :tool_pen: .

So here I have a :tool_selector: that is sticked together to a :tool_rectangle: .

Anybody here capable to remove the arrow?

You can remove the marker via XML EDitor:
  1. select the rectangle
  2. open XML Editor
  3. select 'style' attribute of the rectangle (upper right pane)
  4. remove the marker definition from the style attribute (lower right pane)

    Code: Select all

    marker-end:url(#Arrow1Lend);
  5. click 'Set'

Another thing that "fixes" the problem is to convert the object to path

1. Path > Object to Path
2. Change arrow head to none

This bug seems to only be an issue with objects.
IMHO, arrowheads should never be drawn on a closed path, as it is always a mistake.
The point of start and end arrowheads are to show the start and end of a line segment (path). A loop does not have a start and end, so arrowheads should never be used on any closed path.

How would Inkscape know if a marker is an arrow or something else?

You mean start / end markers, probably?
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!
