# 14 Line styles

class `line_style.T`
  This class defines the looks of line segments. This class supports the following attributes:

`cap_style`
  Type: int Default: 0.

  Defines the style of the tip of the line segment. 0: butt cap (square cutoff, with no projection beyond), 1: round cap (arc), 2: projecting square cap (square cutoff, but the line extends half the line width). See also Postscript/PDF reference manual.

`color`
  Type: color.T ( see Section 15) Default: color.black.

  The color of the line.

`dash`
  Type: tuple Default: None.

  The value of None will draw a solid line. Otherwise, this attribute specifies the style of dashed lines. The 2N'th value specifies the length of the line (in points), and 2N+1'th value specifies the length of the blank.

  For example, the dash style of (3,2,4,1) draws a dashed line that looks like `--__--_--__--_...`.

`join_style`
  Type: int Default: 0.

  Join style. 0: Miter join (sharp, pointed corners), 1: round join (rounded corners), 2: bevel join (flattened corners). See also Postscript/PDF reference manual.
