<br>I am asking just because it breaks some hacks that rely on the assumption that arrows have their lines on the axis.<br><br></div><div>Thank you,<br></div><div>Tobias<br></div></div></div><br>--<br><a href="http://tug.org/lucida/" target="_blank">http://tug.org/lucida/</a><br><a href="http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/lucida" target="_blank">http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/lucida</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
