Hi Christophe,
If you are trying to do what I think you are trying to do, consider 
drawing the arrow first, with the starting point at the center of the 
circle, then draw the circle with a fill color the same as the 
background. This should give you a circle with a nice radial arrow 
emerging from the edge.
