	<overview>Set the <b>miterLimit</b> property to specify how far miter joins can extend from the meeting point of two edges before a bevel join is used.</overview>

		<parameters>

<name>number</name>
<description>An integer that is a multiple of the current lineSize of the graphic.</description>
</parameter>		</parameters>

	<value>The <b>miterLimit</b> property returns an integer that is a multiple of the current lineSize of the graphic.</value>
	<comments>The <b>miterLimit</b> is used to calculate the maximum size of a miter join before it is rendered as a bevel.  The size of a miter join is the length in pixels from the corner to the intersection point of its outer two edges.  The <b>miterLimit</b> is specified as a multiple of the current <property tag="lineSize">lineSize</property> of the graphic.<p></p><p></p><note>This only affects polygon, freehand curve and line graphics which have their antialiased set to true.</note></comments>
