pdf_setmiterlimit

Name

pdf_setmiterlimit — Sets miter limit

Synopsis

bool pdf_setmiterlimit(pdf, value); resource pdf: PDF object identifier double value: Mitre ratio

Returns

Always TRUE

Description

When the join in pdf_setlinejoin() is set to 0 (a miter join), the joining of two lines at a steep angle can result in a large peak which may look unattractive. Using pdf_setmiterlimit() , the ratio of line width to mitre length is calculated and if the result exceeds the mitre limit then the join type is automatically changed to a bevel.

Version

Since versions 3.0.6 and 4.0

Example

Example 980. Control mitre limit

<?php

// create new document
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 500, 700);

// widen line to show effect
pdf_setlinewidth($pdf,5);

// set miter join
pdf_setlinejoin($pdf, 0);

// draw normal intersecting lines
pdf_moveto($pdf, 200, 600);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 250, 500);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 300, 600);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

// draw very wide line
pdf_setlinewidth($pdf,10);

// set miter limit
pdf_setmiterlimit($pdf, 2);

// draw capped intersecting line
pdf_moveto($pdf, 200, 500);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 250, 400);
pdf_lineto($pdf, 300, 500);
pdf_stroke($pdf);

pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);

// output document
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=test.pdf");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
echo $data;
?>
