Is there a way to create an arc with arrows at both ends? Ideally, the arrow size would be something one can set.

Select the edge and change the respective settings on the right:

Hmm. I don't see those controls when I select the arc.To be clear, I am using the arc from the Basic set; this uses shape=mxgraph.basic.arc.

You said "select the edge"; I'm not sure that this means. If I right click on the background, I see "Select Edges", but when I do this nothing happens.

Got it. That arc is not an edge. Try using this curve instead:

Well, the arc gives me a section of a perfect circle, and I can grab the ends of the circular section and adjust how many degrees the section encompasses. I don't see how to make a section of a perfect circle with the Curve.

Good point. Can't think of a good solution atm.
