Hello everyone !

I'm working on a filter witch can generate arrows.

Before to continue working on it, I'm asking you if you think that this filter could be useful ? Here is the preview image of the filter.

My immediate response would be "You never know".
Maybe someone, somewhere, sometime would need it, so why not release it?
If you don't want to work on it alot, just release it as a snippet.

I'm been trying to figure out where arrow bitmaps might be useful. Most arrow work is done as vectors. But if someone needed an arrow graphic for a website, then they could use your filter. I just have no idea how many people would want this. But I am positive that you should not throw away what you've done. At least release it as a snippet. I'd love to see how you did this.

Might be useful if it could generate lots of different arrows, maybe.

As Morgantao said you could always release it as a snippet...Might come in handy for something... smile:)

Well, it is a lot of work but I'm glad because this filter make me practice curves.
I also have discovered a lot of things to create just by playing with this filter.

Finaly, this filter is not slow, even if it contains many components. Must be in the library monday or tuesday, if accepted.

Here an other arrow pattern :

The filter will be in the library for tuesday. I made some changes and I have added few components for giving users more possibilities. Example : chance to rotate most of the arrows.

12 arrow's patterns in total. As you will not see all variations, I put some more here.

I thought that I would never use this, BUT now that I learning to make filters myself this are very well done as shapes to be used as source for some effects as I have already tried, and they are very well designed.

Thanks for making them.
