Hi,
I have a bunch of similar graphics on a 7x7 where some lines have
exceptions for the endings and connections.
- When a line ends in one of the four corners the line end has an angle
of 45 degrees.
- When a line takes a turn the outer corner results also in a 45 degree
angle.
- Single points always use straight endings.
- Lines which end outside of a corner end with a straight line.
While I can get the desired result which a filled path I'm looking for a
solution where I have to set fewer control points.
The example below shows the simpler draw alternative where I need only a
start and end point versus the outline alternative where I need at least
twice as many points to get the desired output.
