How can I make the arrowhead bigger?
The discussion focuses on enlarging arrowheads in TikZ, a popular package for creating graphics in LaTeX. Users recommend utilizing the \usetikzlibrary command and refer to section 30.5.1 "Arrow Tip Markings" in the PGF/TikZ manual version 2.10 for detailed instructions. A sample code snippet demonstrates how to implement larger arrowheads using the \arrow command with specified line widths. Resources such as StackExchange are also suggested for further guidance.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for LaTeX users, graphic designers, and researchers looking to enhance their document visuals using TikZ, particularly those interested in customizing arrow graphics.

How can I make the arrowhead bigger?
Yes, this is awkward in TikZ. The link to StackExchange seems a good resource. This is also described in section 30.5.1 "Arrow Tip Markings" in PGF/TikZ manual for version 2.10. Here is a code from there.dwsmith said:How can I make the arrowhead bigger?
\begin{tikzpicture}[decoration={
markings,% switch on markings
mark=at position 1cm with {\node[red]{1cm};},
mark=at position .75 with {\arrow[blue,line width=2mm]{>}},
mark=at position -1cm with {\arrowreversed[black]{stealth};}}
