<p class="Body"> This property sets the maximum distance <em>in multiples of delta</em> that vertices can be offset from their original positions before squaring is applied. (Squaring truncates a miter by 'cutting it off' at 1 × delta distance from the original vertex.)<br><br> <b>The default value for MiterLimit is 2</b> (ie twice delta). This is also the smallest MiterLimit that's allowed. If mitering was unrestricted (ie without any squaring), then offsets at very acute angles would generate unacceptably long 'spikes'.<br><br> An example of an offsetting 'spike' at a narrow angle that's a consequence of using a large MiterLimit (25) ...<br> <img src="../../../../../../Images/miterlimit.png" alt="" border="0"> </p>
