Hi Michael,

Re: arrow gaps

My initial question about the arrow gaps was spawned by my not particularly liking how the arrow tips extended beyond or overlapped the object being referred to. I have since been experimenting with the arrowGap properties you've shown and see that they do indeed work nicely to address this personal preference. The fact that they are a preset makes them especially flexible, particularly if someone wanted to mix differing styles in the same drawing. It would be nice to see these exposed in the preset UI.

While I was experimenting, I also found the discussion about mitered tips of the arrowheads http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9363.86, so now I see that MiterArrowheads=n is another way to meet this preference. Though since this behaves globally it does not seem to be quite as flexible as the arrowGap properties are.

Since you've indicated that the arrowGap properties may not be as difficult to work with in the future, I would vote for keeping both methods (arrowGap and MiterArrowheads) available in MoI and exposing the arrowGap properties in the UI. If arrowGap turns out to be a problem I'd be perfectly happy with only MiterArrowheads=n.
