[Tex/LaTex] Big arrows between images

arrows

I am trying to put arrows between images. I did not want to put arrow images, I prefer LaTeX way solution. I used pointer from wasysym package. The result can be seen below. I know those arrows are considered as text, so they are tiny.

How can I put centered, big arrows between images?

Best Answer

You could use \vcenter for vertical centering. It requires math mode. You could use font commands for scaling arrows or \scalebox or \resizebox of the graphicx package.

Define macros, so you could make adjustments easily.

Here's an example, using your pointer of wasysym:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\newcommand*{\vimage}[1]{\vcenter{\hbox{\includegraphics{#1}}}}
\newcommand*{\vpointer}{\vcenter{\hbox{\scalebox{2}{\Huge\pointer}}}}
\begin{document}
$\vimage{one}\vpointer
\vimage{two}\vpointer
\vimage{three}$
\end{document}
