Description

Hi!
I'm using WPFGraphControl and trying to modify an edge with a singular target arrow to a bidirectionnal one, which would have both source and target Arrow.
I tried modifying its attribute (ArrowheadAtSource), but if this was at None or NonSpecified when the Graph was generated, it lacks some critical structure ( the arrow itself and the arrowPath ).
And modifying its attribute triggers ValueChanged -> Invalidate, which tries to access unexisting value.

Am I using the wrong flow to modify the arrow of an edge ? Is that not doable at runtime ?
Do I need to fully redo the graph for it to work ?

Research direction

Start at WPFGraphControl's runtime edge-arrow update path, focusing on ArrowheadAtSource and the ValueChanged -> Invalidate flow. Reproduce changing a singular target arrow to a bidirectional arrow after graph creation. Done means the update works without missing arrow or arrowPath structures, or the runtime limitation is clearly documented.
