I want to align the double arrow
shape in the tikz
package with an arc, like this one:
\documentclass[landscape]{article}
\usepackage[a2paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fadings,shapes.arrows,shadows,arrows,positioning,shapes}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2,node distance=1cm, auto,baseline=-.5ex]
\node (dummy) at (-5,-8) {};
\begin{scope}[remember picture,overlay,shift={(dummy.center)}]
\draw (8.75,4.75) arc (440:160:7.5); % I'm trying to align my double arrow shape with this arc.
\end{scope}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
By popular demand – a picture:
Preferrably I want the arrow tips to be unaffected by the bending of the shape. This would probably require a different shape than double arrow
, though.

I have only a workaround for you. I draw two arrows on each other, the arrowheads are shifted, so I manually move them slightly back. The first arrowhead's position is controlled by an extra point, the second arrowhead's position is controlled by an angle and a distance. Please try it if it fits your needs.
