Aquileo | HTML canvas lineCap Property

The canvas lineCap property is used to set or return the style of end caps of line. The line can have one of three cap styles: butt, round, or square. The default value of canvas lineCap property are butt. The lineCap property must be set before calling the stroke() function. Syntax:

context.lineCap = "butt|round|square";

Property Values:

butt: It is the default style. This property value adds the flat edge at the each end of the line.
round: This property value adds the end cap at the each end of the line.
square: This property value adds the square cap at the each end of the line.

Note: The value round and square makes the line slightly longer. Example 1: This example illustrates the butt property value.
