More arrow ending shapes

[mgudmund]

I would like to see a few more arrow-ending options be added. I would like to see some more, such as hollow circle, and half-circle.

Is this something that could be added?

Is there an existing plan to add more, or should I try to provide som commonly used in my work as an enterprise architect?

I’d love to revive this discussion. Especially I’m interested in the crow's foot notation as suggested in https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/issues/616

I’m up for contributing on this but it seems all the issues and PRs strand on the interface part. Can we come to a conclusion on that so this can be taken forward?

This is how it looks currently

Do we want to stick with the 3x3 grid or change it to 4x4? Do we want to introduce some arrowhead "sets" so that you can switch between sets (standard, crow's foot, etc.).

Something like

(disclaimer: obviously not a UX designer 🙈)

That way we could eventually support all kinds of notations eg. different entity-relationship notations:

What do you think @dwelle @lipis @steveruizok ?

Just today we discussed replacing drawio with excalidraw but the lack of various arrow notations so far is unfortunately a stopper rn.

looking forward to see these implemented :)

Please also consider UML class diagram arrowhead relationships.

Consider this also please. Sometimes this semantics is very wanted
