Spike end to stroke

[Chezqui]

Hi

AD

I need a pointy end to a stroked path rather than a rounded or square. Any thoughts.

It works with a corner but not a curve.

I could convert to a corner but that would mean redrawing my beautiful curves.

2nd image is what happens in AI as an option.

You could probably do what you want with arrowheads if they were actually drawn at the end of a curve rather than just before the end, as they are now.
Note my attached image where the blue arrow shows the end of the red and black curves and the green arrow shows where the arrow head is drawn from (not what we see in the icon on the right where the head seems to be really at the end).

As it is I can't think of a way to do what you want without modifying the curve in an unwanted manner.

I think you want to play around with the Mitre: values.

To get the effect shown in your AI image, give the stroke a high mitre value.

Thank you - it had to be there somewhere

Sorry Chezqui, when you said you wanted a “pointy end” to a curve I thought you meant the end rather than the interior nodes.
