Name

CRC.miterLimit — maximum miter length to line width ratio

Synopsis

float miterLimit

Description

When lines are drawn with the lineJoin property set to “miter” and two lines meet at an acute angle, the resulting miter can be quite long. When miters are too long, they become visually jarring. This miterLimit property places an upper bound on the length of the miter. This property expresses a ratio of the miter length to half the line width. The default value is 10, which means that a miter should never be longer than five times the line width. If a miter formed by two lines would be longer than the maximum allowed by miterLimit then those two lines will be joined with a bevel instead of a miter.
