Create big fat green arrow like in excel












6















For my masters thesis I'm using a specific questionnaire. The questionnaire provides an evaluation tool that provides some nice graphics in excel. I want to create the same look in Latex to keep everything consistent.



Green Arrow



I can not find a good way to include an arrow symbol that look similar to the one in the picture.



textcolor{OliveGreen}{$uparrow$}


Just does not cut it for me.



too small arrows



I already looked here https://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/LaTeX_symbols.pdf and scribbled in http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html but found nothing suitable.

              This is a simple construction of a big fat green arrow using Mathcha. By changing the scale parameters you can construct an arrow of different sizes depending on the size of the character which is not automatic.



              enter image description here



              documentclass{article}
              usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
              usepackage{tikz}
              tikzset{every picture/.style={line width=0.5pt}}
              newcommand{bigfatgreen}{begin{tikzpicture}[x=0.5pt,y=0.6pt,yscale=-.5,xscale=.5]
              draw [fill=OliveDrab,fill opacity=1 ] (100,123.22) -- (113.25,113) -- (126.5,123.22) -- (119.88,123.22) -- (119.88,138.54) -- (106.63,138.54) -- (106.63,123.22) -- cycle ;
              end{tikzpicture}}
              begin{document}
              Hello bigfatgreen, big fat green. Again HELLO bigfatgreen, BIG FAT GREEN.

                                    This is a simple construction of a big fat green arrow using Mathcha. By changing the scale parameters you can construct an arrow of different sizes depending on the size of the character which is not automatic.
