Some user feedback;
Why does every icon need to be shown?
It takes quite some screen estate.
It could be a drop down instead as exactly one of the orders is active at a time.
Also the icons relate to both fill and stroke not only stroke. Why are they on stroke style tab and not close to opacity/blur which relate to both fill and stroke?
I find these to be much more easily understandable, thank you, CR!
Having them go around a corner helps.
Thanks Maren. I'm glad you like them!But maybe both markers should be identical as they would be in reality?
Arrows are easier to understand as being a symbol for a 'marker' than
the dots, at least for me. If the markers could be made bigger (not by
much), it could be easier to spot the difference between some of the icons.In reality, you can choose start and end markers to be different. :) This is why I chose the arrow and circle ends, as I use these two all the time in product design documents. I scaled the markers down a little because they were starting to look a bit cluttered, and it was hard to see enough of the line to show the shape well. It's a very small space, but if you want to improve upon it, feel free. :)Download the source file here and have a play if you like:
