GtkArrow should be used to draw simple arrows that need to point in
one of the four cardinal directions (up, down, left, or right). The
style of the arrow can be one of shadow in, shadow out, etched in, or
etched out. Note that these directions and style types may be
amended in versions of GTK+ to come.
GtkArrow will fill any space alloted to it, but since it is inherited
from #GtkMisc, it can be padded and/or aligned, to fill exactly the
space the programmer desires.
GtkArrow has been deprecated; you can simply use a #GtkImage with a
suitable icon name, such as “pan-down-symbolic“. When replacing
GtkArrow by an image, pay attention to the fact that GtkArrow is
doing automatic flipping between #GTK_ARROW_LEFT and #GTK_ARROW_RIGHT,
depending on the text direction. To get the same effect with an image,
use the icon names “pan-start-symbolic“ and “pan-end-symbolic“, which
react to the text direction.

Arrows are created with a call to gtk.arrow.Arrow.new_. The direction or style of an arrow can be changed after creation by using gtk.arrow.Arrow.set.
