Arrows for technical drawings

Create your own arrow heads for technical drawings. The output is the data for SVG paths, i.e. the arrow head in both directions. This is an stripped down implementation of the paper of David Salomon: *Arrows for Technical Drawings*, TUGboat, Volume 13 (1992), No.2, p. 146-149. Parameters: - `arrowLength`: length from base to tip - `insetRatio`: relative position of inset 1..0 - `tipAngle`: opening angle at tip - `wingCurve`: curvature of flanks (+ inwards, - outwards) - `tailCurve`: curvature of flanks (+ inwards, - outwards)
