LINEEND="pen"

The (imaginary) 'pen' used to draw any Polylines and Bezier curves is, by default, flat; its size is specified using the THICKNESS attribute. The line starts and finishes at the specified X,Y positions. The LINEEND attribute applies terminals to the ends of a line, as if it had been drawn by a square or round pen. See also BORDERS.

The LINEEND pen can take one of two values:

SQUARE

Line with flat ends

Lines are drawn with a square pen one THICKNESS wide and high. The centre of the pen starts and finishes at the defined locations, so that each end of the line appears lengthened by half a thickness.

ROUND

Line with rounded ends

These lines are drawn with a round pen of one THICKNESS diameter. The centre of the pen starts and finishes at the defined locations, so the line appears lengthened by a semi-circle at each end.
