miterLimit property

  • Article

Gets or sets the maximum allowed ratio between half of the ICanvasRenderingContext2D::lineWidth value and the miter length. If the miter limit is too small then the two lines won't meet using the ICanvasRenderingContext2D::lineJoin you specify.

 

Syntax

object.put_miterLimit(number miterlimit);object.get_miterLimit(number* miterlimit);

Property values

Type: number

10

Default. If not explicitly set, this value defaults to 10.

A positive number

Zero, negative numbers, infinite numbers, and not a number (NaN) values are ignored.

Standards information

Remarks

The miter length is the distance from the point where two lines meet to the point where two lines that are drawn along the outer edges of the two lines would intersect. If the ratio of these values exceeds the ICanvasRenderingContext2D::miterLimit value, a ICanvasRenderingContext2D::lineJoin miter style is not drawn.
