Description

0

Miter join. The outer edges of the strokes for the two segments shall beextended until they meet at an angle, as in a picture frame. If the segments meet at too sharp an angle (as defined by the miter limit parameter—see 8.4.3.5, "Miter Limit" ), a bevel join shall be used instead.

1

Round join. An arc of a circle with a diameter equal to the line width shall be drawn around the point where the two segments meet, connecting the outer edges of the strokes for the two segments. This pieslice-shaped figure shall be filled in, producing a rounded corner.

2

Bevel join. The two segments shall be finished with butt caps (see 8.4.3.3, "Line Cap Style" ) and the resulting notch beyond the ends of the segments shall be filled with a triangle.
