    XMLWordPrintable

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      (1) Add following sentences to section 20.164 svg:stroke-linecap:

      For a dashed line, caps are applied to each dash. The values of the draw:dots1-length, draw:dots2-length and draw:distance attributes of the referenced <draw:stroke-dash> element refer to the dashes without cap.

      If the referenced <draw:stroke-dash> element has an attribute draw:style, the attribute draw:style is ignored.

      (2) In section 19.218.5 <draw:stroke-dash> add:

      This attribute is evaluated for a shape if its style does not contain an svg:stroke-linecap attribute.

      From the post:

      The element "<draw:stroke-dash>" (16.40.9) has an attribute "draw:style" (19.218.5). This attribute specifies a rendering for a stroke-dash using the values

      "rect: dash has a rectangular shape."
      and
      "round: dash has a round shape."

      On the other hand the ends of stroked subpaths can be set with the attribute "svg:stroke-linecap" (20.164) using the values butt, round, and square.

      It might be, that the settings are contradictory. For example draw:style sets "rect" and svg:stroke-linecap sets "round".

      I miss a rule to handle this inconsistence. Another solution would be to get rid of the attribute "draw:style" in this context.
