line-end

Arguments: stream

Returns (or sets with setf) a symbol indicating the current style for drawing the ends of thick lines on stream. stream should be a cg-stream.

The possible values are

• :round (the default): adds a round cap past the specified endpoint.
• :square: adds a square cap (protruding by one-half of the width of the line).
• :flat: ends the line immediately at the specified endpoint.

In Windows 95/98 (as opposed to NT), the non-default values of line-end will be used only when lines are drawn as part of a "path"; see with-drawing-path.

See also: with-line-end, line-join, with-line-join, begin-drawing-path, end-drawing-path, and with-drawing-path.
