netdraw arrowheads not removed


 

I've been having some odd interactions with Netdraw--both when I open a UCINet data file or the original dl file. The original files themselves are fine --UCINet likes my dl file. I can open both data formats in Netdraw and work with the results--rearranging the individual networks for visibility, etc. When I first open a file, the links have arrowheads at both ends. No problem -- I turn them off.

However, if I save the Netdraw data for that configuration as a vna file, when I reopen it later on, I have arrowheads on the links that will not turn off. It's frustrating.

Any thoughts?? It's a PITA to have to open a new network from the original data and redo all my work every time I want to tweak something (e.g. color/shape of nodes, vary tie size visualization, you name it).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Katherine, I took a look at the code and it turns out that the vna files don¡¯t save the arrowhead info (nor look for it when reading). I¡¯ve fixed that now, but won¡¯t upload until the weekend so that I can make some changes in ucinet at the same time. If you don¡¯t want to wait, copy this exe:

and overwrite your existing netdraw.exe file (if you can find it!).

Thanks so much, Steve¡ªI was concerned that my issue was too trivial for any attention. I won¡¯t be back at my PC in my office until sometime next week so I¡¯ll wait for the official fix¡ªand I may need some brief instruction on what to do to upgrade (it¡¯s been quite a while since I¡¯ve messed with UCINet, thanks to the pandemic and not doing Zoom conferences).
