I am starting to strongly dislike the miter fallback btw, simply because of it not being clear whether you have arc extension or a miter. Bevel fallback has a much better UI experience for me.
I also prefer bevel fallback FWIW, but are we talking about the "extrapolated" join or the "extrapolated arc" thing (w.r.t. the example SVG)?
We were talking about the fallback for "extrapolated arc".
And please tell me whether I have understood correctly that extrapolated arc is more like bevel and basically ensures that all bevels are straightlines
Extrapolated arc = extrapolate with a circle segment. With continuity of curvature/smoothness. (the whole arc has the same curvature as path join point.
whereas extrapolated is more like miter and just ensures continuity of curvature? Personally I feel extrapolated arc is too extreme (too many sharp ends... Naah!)
Extrapolated = extrapolate by mirroring the path segment. This also results in continuity of curvature and smoothness.
