Please create option to add arrowheads at the end of strokes

Hello! Please create the ability to add arrowheads at the ends of strokes. These arrowheads could be added at both ends of the stroke. Additionally, if this is added, then there would also be a need to add the following features to allow the arrowhead to be customized with the following:

  • In the stroke settings pop-up, there could a place to add an arrowhead at either end of the stroke.

  • There could be different styles of arrowheads to choose from. EX: arrows, dots, inverse triangle, hollow dots, squares etc. In this popup menu, as the use hovers or drags their cursor through the different styles, the arrowheads update in real time on the artboard.

  • Once an arrowhead style is selected, then the arrowhead could be scaled in two directions.. one to increase the width of the arrowhead, and the other to increase the length. There could be a chain-link icon between them which allows them to both scale together to preserve aspect ratio, or the link could be deactivated to scale both independently.

  • Last - Allow the stroke itself to be scaled and tapered. This would allow the stroke to have different widths across the same stroke.

  • **Nice to have not necessary: Allow the user to add a custom inserted shape to the end of a stroke instead of the predefined shapes mentioned above. This could be cool for animating an object around the canvas with a trailing line behind it.

Use cases:

  • Animated arrows moving around on the screen which have a trim path attached to them. Different animation abilities could be had here.. which would be in addition to the current option of creating a vector shape arrow and animating the individual shape nodes.
