Description

If I draw an arrow using ofDrawArrow I don't see the head at the end of the arrow. It just draws a line.

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::draw(){

    ofDrawArrow(glm::vec3(100, 100, 0), glm::vec3(300, 300, 0), 500);
}

So I tried to increase the size of the head to 500 and here's what I got.

As you can see, the head is not correctly translated.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of ofDrawArrow and reproduce the issue with the ofDrawArrow(glm::vec3(100, 100, 0), glm::vec3(300, 300, 0), 500) example. Check the arrowhead's translation relative to the line direction, then verify that the head appears correctly aligned at the endpoint for the reported case.
