Joins

QuickDraw GX uses the join property of a shape's style object to store information about the joins of a shape.

You can use the join attributes to specify two types of standard joins--sharp joins and curve joins, as shown in Figure 24 .

Figure 24 Standard joins

For sharp joins, QuickDraw GX allows you to specify a miter --the maximum distance between the actual corner of a shape's geometry and the corner as drawn, as shown in Figure 25 .
