Arrow alignment

erik
Hi Smuflers,

I'm curious about why the arrows in "Arrows and arrowheads" are not horizontally centered around the y-axis. The most obvious use of an arrow is to point at (or away from) something, which would be much easier if the arrow was drawn at the coordinates specified. Now it will be offset to the right, and worse, the offset to the arrow line will probably differ between fonts, depending on the width of the arrowhead.

I suspect there is some good reason for things being the way they are, I just cannot see it :)

Best regards
Erik Ronström
