nwill Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If I create a polygon, and set maximum line thickness (100pts) for three and four sided polygons, the corners are not mitred properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 9, 2014 In the examples you've shown, the corners that are becoming beveled would have exceeded the miter limit if a miter had been used instead. We used to have a user-editable miter limit (and still do in the rendering code) but we removed this from the UI as it's very rare that people actually tend to change it. Perhaps we need to rethink that? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwill Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well, Illustrator, Inkscape and LibreOffice Draw all get this right ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yes, it is mandatory to have a user adjustable miter limit. Sometimes we need sharp, pointy corners, even if they are very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
