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.
