I do not know if there exist any ready packages for thsi, but it is easy enough to produce "manually", starting with the Graphics`Arrow` package. Here is an example I just worked out, it is not very accurate as I chose the numbers basically at random but it should give you an idea of the kind of thing you can do: In[15]:= << "Graphics`Arrow`" In[107]:= angle = Pi/4; pl = ParametricPlot[{Cos[t], Sin[t]}, {t, 0, angle}, AspectRatio -> Automatic, Axes -> False, DisplayFunction -> Identity]; P = {Cos[angle], Sin[angle]}; T = {-Sin[angle], Cos[angle]}; ar = Graphics[Arrow[P, P + 0.2*T, HeadLength -> 0.5]]; rt = Rectangle[{0.5, 0.}, {1, 0.6}, gr]; Show[Graphics[{Line[{{1, 1}, {0, 0}, {1, 0}}], rt}], DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]; on 01.5.11 4:38 PM, Jose Capco at jcapco at mathematik.uni-ulm.de wrote: > Dear NG, > > I wish to draw a figure in Mathematica that involves indicating the angle of > some triangle.
