h2. General Remarks
h2. New Features
h3. Support for Scalable Vector Graphics

h3. Support for Line Cap Property
Now you can add a cap to the ends of a line. Such caps are not only known i=
n the ODF1.2 standard but in HTLM5 and SVG too. Also other Office Sites pro=
vide caps in different styles to be added to thick lines.

Three styles exist
* without a cap, called 'Butt' in programming and 'Flat' in UI (as in MS Of=
fice)
* with a round cap, called 'Round'
* with a rectangle cap, called 'Square'
The property value 'Flat' corresponds to the old behavior and is now the de=
fault.

!LineCap_PureLines.png!

The caps are added to the lines, so that the total length of the lines incr=
eases with two-times a half line width.

Select the value from a drop-down-list in the line property dialog, just be=
side the settings for corner style. The new property is only available in c=
ontexts, where the corner style is active too.

!LineCap_Dialog.png!

If a line is dashed, the single dashes get caps too. Hereby a dot is treate=
d as dash. You can style not only pure lines and curves, but the border of =
graphic objects as well.

The next example shows the new property applied to a connector. Left side w=
ithout cap, in the middle with 'round' cap, and on the right side with 'squ=
are' cap.

The caps are available for 3D-objects too, when you turn on lines and make =
them thick. The example shows lines, which are styled to look =E2=80=9Cdott=
ed=E2=80=9D.

Linecaps defined in svg-graphics are supported, so that those graphics look=
 like in modern browsers.
