I have some problems with the triangle glyph. When I don't specify any
orientation to the glyph, it stretches nicely. However, if I do specify,
it only drows isoceles triangles. (with E or W orientation).  Can I
overcome this problem?

Actually, I found the problem:
the original codein the 'sub draw_component':

elsif($orient eq 
'W'){$vx1=$x2;$vy1=$y1;$vx2=$x2;$vy2=$y2;$vx3=$x2-$p;$vy3=$ymid;}
   elsif($orient eq 
'E'){$vx1=$x1;$vy1=$y1;$vx2=$x1;$vy2=$y2;$vx3=$x1+$p;$vy3=$ymid;}

the $p has to be changed to ($q*2)

Then it creates nicely stretched triangles. However, it might be more 
convenient to use an  other type of glyph, like:

||||>

but I don't know how to create it. Do we have this kind of glyph?
