Instructions: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have an active path that defines your arrow(s).

Run Script -> result. (You'll get 3 layers, an arrows layer, a circle fill layer, and a numbers layer)

Note: This script is a stand-alone script. It has a copy of Ofnuts arrowheads code internally and does not depend on Ofnuts arrowheads .py script.

If ya find this script useful, you can thank Ofnuts, without his code I don't know how i'd hack the arrow heads (it's a little more complex and I think i would make it really messy) :hehe

Excellent! I actually tested it out on a small tutorial on my website. Good job, Tin!

Does the direction of the arrows come from the order of the path nodes?

As I accept the the Golden Wilbur:
"I'd like to thank mahvin for coming up with the idea of this script. I'd like to thank fellow script coders like Ofnuts for his code. Without it this wouldn't happen. I'd like to thank Happy Smiling Big Belly Buddha! I'd like to thank The Lord, I'd like to thank my parents, ..." keeps on thanking people.
"And last but not least .. I'd like to thank Gimp Chat forum"
:hehe

Given the code, I want a 50% share on the prize

Interesting script.
A request or perhaps a challenge? Will you add the ability to use words within different shapes?

Also when i used a closed path it actually created a circle on the last node added and stroked the path but no arrow head. I just thought that was interesting to note. Makes for a different type of pointer at the end of the label.

Robs path label script in (Scheme) allows the user to add words at different node points. Just thinking if you used your words to shapes filter and add the path nodes to label arrows. What would that look like?

One more suggestion is to add all your current and future PATH filters to the <vectors> menu so a user could open them from the paths layers. It just seems like the proper place for them to be.

Thanks for the new script sir! :clap

I'll gladly share 50% of the prize. I think it's worth like a gazillion dollars.

That's too hard of a challenge, I don't know how to fit words into different shapes.
As for menu change, if i put with vectors, it would see off since other ofnuts paths tools seem to generate other paths, this one doesn't generate paths. If you really want you can change that yourself.
I think the script is pretty good right now as is for labeling key points for tutorials.
