OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

In vector graphics it is common to set two properties to change the way a 
line is drawn.  One is the line join style, which is represented in ODF 
via the draw:stroke-linejoin and the other property is the cap style.
The latter is not represented and the KOffice drawing app has support for 
this feature in the old fileformat and requested support in ODF as well.

Can we add something like this:



The 'butt' should be default, should the attribute not be given, I'm not 
sure if I can do that in the xml above.
ps. this follows the svg option SVG CAP STYLE

thanks.

Hi Thomas, all,

in the coordination call from July, the 2nd, we have agreed a "feature 
freeze" for ODF 1.2 for end of July, which has passed.

I think we should discuss in the coordination call on Monday how we 
proceed with this proposal, or other "last minute" proposal we may receive.

Best regards

Michael

I didn't catch the actual outcome of this issue, and I would be very happy 
to see this feature (which is really a copy of the svg equivalent) into 
ODF so KOffice doesn't have to have one in a koffice namespace that OOo 
can never hope to support...

Hi,

while integrating this proposal, I noticed that it is in the draw 
namespace, although it does not specify any values that are not 
supported by SVG. Until now, we used ODF's SVG compatible namespace 
(prefix svg) for such attributes, and we used the draw namespace only 
for SVG attributes for which we support additional values. I therefore 
suggest that we use the svg namespace/prefix here, too.

I further notices that the value "inherit" is listed, which we don't 
support in ODF, because of the entirely different inheritance model of 
ODF. The same unfortunately happened to the linejoin attribute, that did 
exist already in ODF 1.1. I suggest that we consider this to be an errata.

I should have noticed both issues earlier, but unfortunately did not.

Best regards

Michael
