How to add double headed arrows + text - enginestar - 04-23-2019 I have an image. I want to add double headed arrows. How should I best do this? I then need to add text. The text should line up on the same slant as the double headed arrow. How should I add the text? Is there someway of connecting to the line, so if the line is moved about and rotated the text gets rotated? Thanks. RE: How to add double headed arrows + text - Ofnuts - 04-24-2019 You can: define the shaft of the arrow as a path use my path-arrow-heads script to add arrow heads to it use my ofn-text-along-path to create text that follows the shaft Edit>Stroke the path (or make a selection and bucket-fill) ... it it looks lore like a job for a schema drawing program (LibreOffice Draw, or else....) RE: How to add double headed arrows + text - rich2005 - 04-24-2019 Another way, using a script for the arrow. Script is here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Arrow-Script IMHO best in a layer group. [attachment=2834] A four minute demo:  direct link https://youtu.be/euyPOPDcNho
