Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ A small tick on the end of a vector

[topsquark]

The diagram is good. But if you look at the vector v at the top of the diagram you will see a little "tick" at the end of it. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks!

Here's the code. (I put the line for v in bold.)

Code: Select all

\begin{tikzpicture}
     \draw (4.7,4.7) -- (0,0) -- (5,0) --(5,4.41);
     \coordinate [label={$\theta$}] (t) at (0.8, 0.1);
     \draw (2,2) -- (1, 3) -- (3, 5) -- (4,4);
     \draw node at (2.5, 3.5) {$M$};
 [b]    \draw [->] (2,5) edge node[above left] {v} (3,6);[/b]
     \fill [black] (9,3) circle(2pt);
     \coordinate [label={M FBD}] (MFBD) at (8,5);
     \path [->] (9,3) edge node[right] {Mg} (9,0);
     \path [->] (9,3) edge node[above right] {N} (7.5,4.5);
     \path [->] (9,3) edge node[above left] {f} (8.29,2.39);
     \path [->] (9,3) edge node[above left] {T} (10.41,4.41);
     \fill [black] (13,3) circle(2pt);
     \coordinate [label={m FBD}] (mFBD) at (13,5);
     \path [->] (13,3) edge node[right] {mg} (13,1.5);
     \path [->] (13,3) edge node[above right] {T} (13,5);
     \draw [dashed] (9,3) -- (10.5,1.5);
     \coordinate [label={$\theta$}] (t) at (9.2, 2);
     \fill (5.41,5.41) circle (2pt);
     \path (5.41,5.41) circle (1cm) [draw];
     \draw (3.5,4.5) -- (4.41,5.41);
     \draw (5.71,4.45) -- (5.71,2.5);
     \draw (5.21,1.5) rectangle (6.24,2.5);
     \draw node at (5.71,2) {$m$};
\end{tikzpicture}

BTW: Please don't add further BBCode tags to code. It will not work and makes the code also not work. And please always add a minimal working example instead of only a code snippet. In the example above the automatically added code seems to work (after removing the bold tags), but this is not always the case. So it is always better to show a minimal working=complete example. See the link for more information.

Thanks! I'll look at the edge code a little more carefully.
