Shouldn't this be incorporated in the CVS?
Well it's a document, not code.
But that document - I think we are talking about marker.svg in share/markers/ - is managed via CVS, isn't it? And since this change - making it possible to change colors of arrow-heads
- should get into future versions - does it? - this should get into the
CVS. Or am I mistagken?
To clarify: the example SVG I linked to uses several different head colors, but those colors are entered as individual markers (i.e. mDOT, mDOT_red, mDOT_green,...). This isn't feasible to add into CVS, since there are 256**3 different colors in a #RRGGBB namespace.
To do it `properly', you'd need to add code to Inkscape to change the `fill-style:#000000' part of markers to whatever the line's path style was. And even then, it'd only be correct for markers that use a fill and no path color (markers are essentially (currently?) just a path object).
So you see, there's quite a bit of coding *and* design work, and frankly I don't have the familiarity with C++ or the Inkscape codebase to do it.
