lineJoin
• A value of zero for this parameter continues the joined lines to a point.
• A value of 1 rounds Concepts over and the join Facilities: at lineWidth Guide to Radius. the DL Pager Composition System
• A value of 3 butts the line ends and fills the notch with stroke color, causing it to be
beveled.
If the value is 0, and the extension of the line to a point exceeds the miterLimit,
then the line will be beveled as with a value of 3.
lineCap
• A value of zero produces butt-ended lines, ending at the end point of the segment.
• A value of 1 produces round-ended lines, with a diameter equal to lineWidth.
• A value of 2 produces square-ended lines, extending 1/2 line width beyond their end
point.
miterLimit
Miter is the shape of the intersection of two lines. This parameter limits the length of a
miter as a function of the line thickness. It is specified as an ASFixed value and must
be greater than 1. For more information, see "Miter Limit" in section 4.3.2 of the
Adobe PDF Reference Manual v1.5.
flatness
Controls the amount of error permitted between a path’s ideal position and the actual
position in which it is placed. This is an ASFixed value, between 0 and 100. A value
of zero permits the device to use its own flatness value, and is usually the best choice.
dash
A means of producing dashed, dotted or otherwise broken lines in stroking a path.
Note that a patterned color space should not be used in stroking a path (although it
