# setMiterLimit(_:)

Sets the miter limit for the joins of connected lines in a graphics context.

## Declaration

```swift
func setMiterLimit(_ limit: CGFloat)
```

## Parameters

- `limit`: The miter limit to use.

## Discussion

Discussion If the current line join style is set to CGLineJoin.miter, the miter limit determines whether the lines should be joined with a bevel instead of a miter. The length of the miter is divided by the line width. If the result is greater than the miter limit, the style is converted to a bevel.
