Available values:

Name	Description
Small	Small size.
Medium	Medium size.
Large	Large size.

Remarks

Use the ShapeLine.BeginArrowType and ShapeLine.EndArrowType properties to display arrowheads at the start and end of a line. The following properties allow you to specify the arrowhead size:

• BeginArrowLength and BeginArrowWidth - specify the start arrow size.

• EndArrowLength and EndArrowWidth - specify the end arrow size.

The example below shows how to create and format a line with arrowheads on both sides.

C#

// Add a line to a document.
Shape lineArrow = document.Shapes.InsertLine(document.Range.Start, new PointF(300, 300), new PointF(850, 300));
ShapeLine lineFormat = lineArrow.Line;
// Specify the line color.
lineFormat.Color = Color.OrangeRed;
// Set the line width.
lineFormat.Thickness = 5;
// Add arrowheads to the line ends.
lineFormat.BeginArrowType = LineArrowType.Diamond;
lineFormat.BeginArrowWidth = LineArrowSize.Large;
lineFormat.BeginArrowLength = LineArrowSize.Large;
lineFormat.EndArrowType = LineArrowType.StealthArrow;
lineFormat.EndArrowWidth = LineArrowSize.Large;
lineFormat.EndArrowLength = LineArrowSize.Large;

' Specify the line color.
lineFormat.Color = Color.OrangeRed

lineFormat.BeginArrowWidth = LineArrowSize.Large
lineFormat.BeginArrowLength = LineArrowSize.Large
lineFormat.EndArrowType = LineArrowType.StealthArrow
lineFormat.EndArrowWidth = LineArrowSize.Large
lineFormat.EndArrowLength = LineArrowSize.Large
