Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to set the miter limit in Makie? I couldn’t find this in the documentation. The default for CairoMakie appears to be 10 which leads to a lot of artifacts when i have lines with a lot of points.

Best,  
Mike

You can’t set that currently, although I thought it was higher than 10. GLMakie doesn’t have a setting for this which is why CairoMakie doesn’t have one either. It would not be hard to add in principle, more a question of API and how to deal with the backend differences.
