Arrows

This module provides support for the AutoCAD standard arrow heads used in DIMENSION, LEADER and MULTILEADER entities. Library user don’t have to use the ARROWS objects directly, but should know the arrow names stored in it as attributes. The arrow names should be accessed that way:

import ezdxf

arrow = ezdxf.ARROWS.closed_filled

ezdxf.render.arrows.ARROWS: Single instance of _Arrows to work with.

class ezdxf.render.arrows._Arrows

Management object for standard arrows.

__acad__: Set of AutoCAD standard arrow names.

__ezdxf__: Set of arrow names special to ezdxf.

architectural_tick

closed_filled

dot

dot_small

dot_blank

origin_indicator

origin_indicator_2

open

right_angle

open_30

closed

dot_smallblank

none

oblique

box_filled

box

closed_blank

datum_triangle_filled

datum_triangle

integral

ez_arrow

ez_arrow_blank

ez_arrow_filled

is_acad_arrow(item: str) → bool: Returns True if item is a standard AutoCAD arrow.

is_ezdxf_arrow(item: str) → bool: Returns True if item is a special ezdxf arrow.

insert_arrow(layout: GenericLayoutType, name: str, insert: UVec = NULLVEC, size: float = 1.0, rotation: float = 0, *, dxfattribs=None) → Vec2: Insert arrow as block reference into layout.

render_arrow(layout: GenericLayoutType, name: str, insert: UVec = NULLVEC, size: float = 1.0, rotation: float = 0, *, dxfattribs=None) → Vec2: Render arrow as basic DXF entities into layout.

virtual_entities(name: str, insert: UVec = NULLVEC, size: float = 0.625, rotation: float = 0, *, dxfattribs=None) → Iterator[DXFGraphic]: Returns all arrow components as virtual DXF entities.
