Summary0005156: Request For Arrow Shape
Description

Currently, we offer a great range of Procedural Shapes including Star, RegularPolygon, Gear, and others.

One of the most commonly-used shapes in the construction of User Interfaces are 3-Pointed Arrow shapes.

It is currently possible to 'construct' an Arrow Shape out of both a 'Star' and a 'RegularPolygon' Shape by converting their Count to '3'.
However, one effect of this, due to the nature of the 'base shape' of both of these, is that converting them to an arrow produces a visible gap at the bottom of its bounding box.
This gap within the bounding box makes it very difficult to center it within an area, or rotate from the center of the shape.

If a user desires to have the bounding box match the footprint of the shape, they must right-click on the the Shape and select the 'Convert to Path' option.
One negative side-effect of this however, is that this is a destructive action; notably in the sense that converting to Path removes all ability for the shape to retain its Procedural controls such as Count or Radius.

Because of this, it would be incredibly useful to provide an 'Arrow' Shape to the toolbox that could be directly used in a non-destructive manner, and whose bounding box matches its 3-pointed footprint.

Examples of the overhead required to work around this:
