h2. General Remarks
h2. New Features
h3. Support for Scalable Vector Graphics
h3. Support for Line Cap Property
Now you can add a cap to the ends of a line. Such caps are not only known in
the ODF1.2 standard but in HTLM5 and SVG too. Also other Office Sites provide
caps in different styles to be added to thick lines.
Three styles exist
* without a cap, called 'Butt' in programming and 'Flat' in UI (as in MS Office)
* with a round cap, called 'Round'
* with a rectangle cap, called 'Square'
The property value 'Flat' corresponds to the old behavior and is now the
default.

The caps are added to the lines, so that the total length of the lines
increases with two-times a half line width.
Select the value from a drop-down-list in the line property dialog, just beside
the settings for corner style. The new property is only available in contexts,
where the corner style is active too.

If a line is dashed, the single dashes get caps too. Hereby a dot is treated as
dash. You can style not only pure lines and curves, but the border of graphic
objects as well.

The next example shows the new property applied to a connector. Left side
without cap, in the middle with 'round' cap, and on the right side with
'square' cap.

The caps are available for 3D-objects too, when you turn on lines and make them
thick. The example shows lines, which are styled to look “dotted”.

Linecaps defined in svg-graphics are supported, so that those graphics look
like in modern browsers.
