    This issue is to add arrows along path lines to show the direction of the path. This option is currently available in Inkscape. This has nothing to do with 'visual' or 'flow' programing. This is not a duplicate of 134.

    'Show bezier handles of selected nodes' and 'Show path outline' icons are on the top menu bar, the last two icons on the right. These two icons only appear when a path has been selected.

    Attached is a screenshot of a selected path. 'Show bezier handles of selected nodes' and 'Show path outline' have been toggled on. In the screenshot the bezier handles are visible and the direction of the path is denoted by the direction of the 'harpoons' along the path.

    Thanks. It is help. Now i found.

    Path direction toolsLittle harpoons are optionally shown in the middle of each segment, visualizing the direction of the path. This is useful when preparing a guide path for text, setting markers, and debugging extensions and Inkscape itself. The "Reverse" command (Shift+R) reverses the direction of subpaths that have some selected nodes, or all subpaths if the node selection is empty. To turn on, select "Always show outline" and "Show path direction on outlines" in Node section of the Inkscape Preferences dialog.Source http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48

    The notes on the Inkscape 0.48 release state that the Nodes tool underwent an extensive rewrite. The notes don't state that the Node section was removed from Preferences and replaced by icons on the main tool bar which are only visible when a path has been highlighted/selected. ...Just in case anyone was looking for the Nodes section in Preferences
