Hi Ian,
The main thing driving this API is back-compat with canvas
implementations, not consistency with SVG. :-)
As always, whatever random crap gets implemented first becomes the
official standard we have to support forever in the name of backwards
compatibility because it already has a fe

Hi Ian,
In Prince we are clamping it to 1.0, as the PDF spec is consistent with
SVG this time, and Adobe Reader will fail if the miter limit is dropped
below 1.0.
What do you mean by fail?
I mean if you try to set the miter limit to a number less than 1.0 in a
PDF page content stream Adobe

Hi Rik,
I'm unsure why SVG is different.
While we are on the subject, in SVG stroke-miterlimit must be >= 1.0,
whereas in the canvas it must be >= 0.0.

Good catch!
I'm unsure why SVG is different.
This is a problem with the new Path object [1] that takes an SVG path
string. A user will have to remember to set the miter limit to the SVG
default otherwise the path might render differently in Canvas.
If we ever harmonize the path object so it can be
Hi,
The canvas miterLimit property has a default value of 10, while the SVG
stroke-miterlimit property has a default value of 4. Is there a reason
for this inconsistency?
For reference, the PDF rendering model also has a default value of 10
for miterLimit, making SVG apparently the odd one o
