I have a -draw rectangle and I want to draw an arrow pointing at it and having a caption near the arrow.
How would I do that?

Example:
-------------
|rectangle| <------- Caption
-------------

draw a rectangle, draw a line and draw a "<" character at the end of the line or a filled triangle at the end of the line or an arrowhead icon at the end of the line. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/

you will need to specify the individual coordinates for each

I don't believe that MVG has an arrow primitive. see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magic ... aphics.php

But you can fake as above. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/#arrows
