I cannot find a better way to do this, other than appending/overwriting parts of the tikz
style defined for the arrow inside the priority descriptive diagram
styles defined by smartdiagram
.
You need to insert \tikzset{priority arrow/.append style={rotate=180,anchor=0,xshift=30,}}
somewhere before the \smartdiagram[...]{...}
line. This line does a few things.
- it rotates 180 degrees (whereas the style defined is
rotate=90
degrees)
- it anchors the arrow at a different point (
anchor=west
is default)
- it shifts the arrow downward using
xshift=30
(you may need to adjust this manually, depending on the size of your diagram)
The MWE with these changes is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{smartdiagram}
\begin{document}
\smartdiagramset{set color list={blue!40!white, blue!40!white,blue!40!white, blue!40!white, blue!40!white}}
\tikzset{priority arrow/.append style={rotate=180,anchor=0,xshift=30,}}
\smartdiagram[priority descriptive diagram]{text1, text2, text3, text4, text5}
\end{document}
Which results in this:
