Can you implement rendering like you did for the triangle?

@MrGumpIT is attempting to deploy a commit to the Linwood Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

Hmm do you think this is a basic shape? I'm more thinking about adding arrows, stars and more as a component in the core pack. It's maybe related to #358

[CodeDoctorDE]

The thing is: I don't want to add more things that we need in the basic shapes. Otherwise it gets very crowded. Maybe we can use this principle: everything that can be detected by the shape detection is a basic shape that we could add.

For an arrow you have the problem that you can have a dotted line, a full sarrow head, a outlined, ... In the basic core pack we can construct an arrow out a line and a triangle

[MrGumpIT]

we can do so. Where should I start from to add the basic package?

[CodeDoctorDE]

Hmm, I dont like zip/bfly files in this repo. What do you think about making it code driven? A generateCorePack function that adds these things? Currently the pack uses the old json format. Maybe we should readd this format if we dont use the other idea?

[MrGumpIT]

where is the actual code so I get an idea of ​​what we're talking about

[CodeDoctorDE]

The getCorePack is inside the defaults.dart

[MrGumpIT]

what if we simply had SVGs as templates, loaded via json

[CodeDoctorDE]

Hmm yeah... SVGs are really cool. We need to look about the license of these to add this. But maybe not really for arrows. If you want to make the line of the arrow longer, you also make the head longer... Hmm that's very tricky

[MrGumpIT]

Many sites online offer free svg, but you need to check first

[CodeDoctorDE]

i would close this for now... feel free to open another pr if you are done. Maybe we should implement something like a "Anchor" (like in figma) to deal with sizing
