Kite Arrow and Block Arrow — Solid Arrow Line Types

Kite Arrow and Block Arrow are solid-filled arrow line types in the line style picker. Use them to show direction, flow, or movement on a map.

Both types are applied with a black outline (width 2) and Shrink on Zoom enabled by default, so the arrow scales as the map zooms in and out.

Apply a Kite or Block Arrow

1. Select the line on the map or in the Layers Panel.
2. Open the Style Editor for the line.
3. Click the line type picker (the pattern swatch showing the current line style).
4. A dropdown opens with all available line styles. Select either: - Kite Arrow — a pointed diamond-head arrow. - Block Arrow — a flat rectangular-head arrow.

The line updates immediately. The outline and Shrink on Zoom settings are applied automatically.

Adjust the arrow after applying

After selecting a Kite or Block Arrow, you can change:

• Colour — use the fill colour swatch in the style editor.
• Outline colour and width — the Outline section shows the default black outline. Adjust or disable it there.
• Shrink on Zoom — enabled by default. Uncheck to keep a fixed size at all zoom levels.
• Line width — controls the body and head size of the arrow.
