JoinForm [type]
is a graphics directive that specifies what type of joins should be used to connect segments of lines, tubes, edges, and related primitives.
Details
- The following types can be used in JoinForm [type]:
-
"Bevel" truncate the corner"Miter" extend the corner toward a point{"Miter",d} extend by at most d times the line width"Round" cover the corner with a diskNone equivalent to "Bevel"
- JoinForm works in both 2D and 3D.
- In 2D, the default is JoinForm [{"Miter",3.25}]. In 3D, the default is JoinForm ["Round"].
- JoinForm [{"Miter",1/Sin [θ/2]}] gives sharp corners for any join angle larger than θ.
- JoinForm can be used inside EdgeForm .
