Hi Regina,

yes, the MiterLimits are different in different systems, but all are somehow specified using the angle between the two vectors involved. I remember to have seen some definitions, most using the same and 15 as default value. The ways to be compatible with MS are: - find a definition somewhere, mqaybe in forums or newsgroups (I have none, sorry) - reverse engineer by trying out. Probability is high that there is a (linear?) relationship between the values, so it might be a simple scaling
HTH!

Regards,
Armin

Hi all,

I have made some progress. But a new problem comes up.

I have changed WinSalGraphicsImpl::drawPolyLine [3] so that it gets an additional parameter fMiterMinimumAngle (same meaning as in createAreaGeometryForJoin) and uses it for gdi+. The rendering in edit-mode in Draw and Impress is correct then with gdi+ on Windows. Even Text in SVG works out of the box. [BTW: The current rendering using gdi+ is wrong, see my report bug#99102.]

The behavior of gdi+ is described in [1]. To get the same kind of behavior as in LO, when the miter limit is exceeded, the LineJoin type 'LineJoinMiterClipped' has to be used.

Being only in LibreOffice and SVG, that would be no problem. But MS seems to use different defaults. The rendering in PowerPoint looks like gdi+ type 'LineJoinMiter'. The specification for 'lim' in ECMA-376, Part 1, chapter 20.1.8.43, has no details, and I have not found details otherwhere.

This gdi+ type 'LineJoinMiter' kind of clipping (see the image in the article [1]) will be used in SVG 2 [2] too under the identifier 'miter-clip'.

So my question: Ignore interoperability with MS? If not, how to solve it?

Kind regards
Regina
