Parameter
mode:
line cap mode:
1 = square caps
2 = butt caps
3 = round caps
Function
The SCAP command determines the shape of line ends (or a line cap) in a path where
they are finally stroked. The default caps is butt caps (2).
Square caps have square ends which extend one-half of a line width beyond the
endpoints of the line. Butt caps are similar to square caps but the caps are flash with the
endpoints and do not extend beyond them. Round caps end the lines with semicircular
caps with diameters identical to the line width.
