How can I add a couple arrows on this line?

\draw (3.14,-3.14) -- (3.14,3.14

\draw (3.14,-3.14) -- (3.14,3.14

This will do I guess,

\draw [<->](3.14,-3.14) -- (3.14,3.14);

\draw [<->](3.14,-3.14) -- (3.14,3.14);

Then the following may help.

\draw [->>](3.14,-3.14) -- (3.14,3.14);

There is a drawing editor called Ipe extensible drawing editor which can be used to include figures in LaTeX documents. I am using this for a long time now and I find it quite handy. Since I saw a couple of threads made by you regarding drawing figures in LaTeX, thought you might be interested in this. :)

[->>] produced the arrow heads right behind each other. Is there a way to put arrows at 1/3 intervals on the line?

So I downloaded 7.0.1 but it says I need the 7.0.0 directories. Where do I get those at? How do I set it up once I have everything?

The code

 \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw[decoration={

 markings,% switch on markings

 mark=at position .66 with {\arrow{>}},

 mark=at position 1 with {\arrow{>}}},

 postaction={decorate}] (0,0) -- (0,1);

 \end{tikzpicture}

produces this:

The option decoration can be given to the environments tikzpicture or scope instead of individual draw commands. Then you can use the postaction={decorate} option only in certain draw commands.

For more information, see section 30.5 and in in particular 30.5.1 on p. 331 of TikZ manual v. 2.10.

Please unzip the zip file you have downloaded and read the read-me file in it. There you will find that you need a file called, ipe-7.0.0-dependencies-win.zip. That can be downloaded http://fr.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_ipe7/downloads/ipe/ipe-7.0.0-dependencies-win.zip/. Proceed as the read-me file instructs.

Where do I save the files? How do I tell Winedt to interact with it?

Did you do what the read-me tells? Just unzip the "ipe-7.0.0-dependencies-win.zip" to the previously unzipped Ipe folder(where the read-me file lies). Then go to ipe-7.0.10-win--> ipe-7.0.10--> bin-- >ipe
