[Xcircuit-dev] Non-rounded polygon edges?

[Raf K. <ra...@ee...>]

Hi,

Is there any way to make the lines in xcircuit end in sharp rectangular
edges? By default it seems they are rounded off. This is not noticable for
thin lines, but for thick ones it is quite undesirable.

Thanks,

If lines are thick enough to need to be drawn with sharp corners,
I draw filled boxes instead of lines.  If that's not a good solution
for you, I could add an option for square line caps without too much
effort.

Are you looking at the xcircuit display of it, or with a "real"
postscript rendering?

I've noticed that there are quite a number of differences between what
xcircuit shows and what I see when I turn it into a PDF or look at it
with ghostview.
