http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2006/03/23/559698.aspxContinuing my series of posts on "gee, that's obscure," I thought I'd document the difference between miter limits in both Adobe Illustrator and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). I ran into these differences while building my export plug-in en-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2006/03/23/559698.aspx#10151618Sat, 09 Apr 2011 03:14:45 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10151618Andrew<p>Thanks for the info; very handy.</p> <p>I found that if I have (for example) a horizontal line with a 180 degree join to another horizontal line, the line is effectively extended by the miter limit. This is definitely a problem for XAML that has been generated from some other format.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10151618" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2006/03/23/559698.aspx#9978627Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:33:03 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9978627rumxaml<P>Very interesting. Does anyone happen to know the answer to the following related questions:</P> <P>Does WPF's "Bevel" behaviour ignore MiterLimit and always use what could be described as "MiterLimit=0"?</P> <P>Why does WPF clamp the MiterLimit to at least 1?</P> <P>The "System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineJoin.MiterClipped" behaviour looks closer to what Illustrator does. Any particular reason why it is not in WPF?</P><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9978627" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2006/03/23/559698.aspx#9971943Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:43:07 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9971943dstrb<p>thanx for the inlightenment ! no one in class new what the miter limit was or its purpose ! thank you for clarifying it !</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9971943" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mswanson/archive/2006/03/23/559698.aspx#9955313Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:58:39 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9955313Kirill<P>At last I have got how it does work! It isn't obscure.
