The properties of the arrow can be altered with the Properties menu item in the context menu which appears when the mouse cursor is placed over the arrow and one of the secondary mouse buttons is pressed.

Arrows have five properties, the arrow color, the width of the line stem of the arrow, and tree dimensions for the arrow point which will be explained below.

The 'Arrow Tip' is the distance from the point of the arrow to the base of the arrowhead where the shaft begins. The 'Arrow Length' is the distance from the arrow point to either of the outer side points of the arrow head, projected along the shaft of the arrow. The 'Arrow Width' is the distance between the two outer side points of the arrow head.
