# miterLimit

The limiting value that helps avoid spikes at junctions between connected line segments.

## Declaration

```swift
var miterLimit: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The miter limit helps you avoid spikes in paths that use the CGLineJoin.miter join style. If the ratio of the miter length to the line thickness — the diagonal length of the miter join — exceeds the miter limit, the renderer converts the joint to a bevel join. The default miter limit is 10, which results in the conversion of miters with an angle at the joint of less than 11 degrees.
