Questions tagged [tikz-arrows]

{tikz-arrows} is about questions related to the arrow head specifications in the arrows library of the TikZ/PGF graphics package. If the question is not specifically addressing an issue related to the arrow construction, use the general {tikz-pgf} tag.

In TikZ/PGF package, one can find the Arrow Tip library for a variety of custom arrow heads. To be able to utilize these extra arrowheads, the following line

\usetikzlibrary{arrows}

should be added to the preamble. Then the arrowheads can be used in the TikZ pictures with, for example, 

\draw[right hook reversed-open diamond] (0,0) -- (2,2);

which results in

enter image description here

See Tikz/PGF manual for more comprehensive details.

Double-headed arrows

Is it possible to get TikZ-arrows to draw double-headed arrows? What I'm looking for is a way to achieve \draw[-triangle 90 triangle 90] (A) -- (B); and the open triangle equivalent, in the way TikZ would normally read \draw[->>] (A) -- (B);
