rui_mac Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 After some testing, I concluded that the units of the Miter Limit are set to "how many times larger than the current line width is it allowed the corners to extend". So, the lower limit is 1 because the corner could never be shorter than the current line width. Am I correct in deduce this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nope. Because the extension of the corner varies according to the angle between the lines. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, it does. But it only extends as far as the value I said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted September 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, it's a multiplier of line width that is used to determine the longest distance the 'point' could be away from the line centre before a bevel would be introduced instead. The default 1.41 (sqrt(2)) value allows for a 90 degree corner before changing to a bevel. Higher/lower values can now be specified as required. rui_mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted September 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sorry rui_mac I totally misunderstood your point. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted September 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2014 I just set the value until it looks how I want :D :D - although to be fair, I'm a pixel guy - so all this maths is sometimes too much ;) A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 I was a terrible student at maths. Until I got my first computer (a ZX Spectrum 48K) and started programming and "visualizing" maths.Now I work with matrices, trigonometry, indexed lists, lookup tables, etc. ;-) Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
