public Shape getBaseShape ()

 Return Value

A Shape instance that represents an arrowhead shape. Initialized with the value of LinkBaseShape.

 Remarks

The property specifies the shape that is displayed at the beginning of a link, that is, the point where it is connected with its Origin node. This shape is rotated simultaneously with the first segment of the link so that it follows the overall link direction.
