HP 5961-0509 manual 14Miter Limit

Miter Limit

The value you specify for miter limit determines the maximum ‘length’ of a mitered join, as shown in the following illustration. The miter limit is the ratio of the miter length (the length of the diagonal line through the join of two connecting lines), to the line width. For example, with the default miter limit of 5, the miter length can be as long as 5 times the line width.

Figure 22-14Miter Limit

When the miter length exceeds the miter limit, the point of the miter is clipped to the miter limit (the clipped miter is equivalent to a beveled join). The default miter limit is usually sufficient to prevent clipping except at very narrow join angles.
