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 in the ODF1.2 standard but in HTLM5 and SVG too. Also other Office Sites provide 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 Office)
* 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 default.

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

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

If a line is dashed, the single dashes get caps too. Hereby a dot is treated 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 without cap, in the middle with 'round' cap, and on the right side with 'square' 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 “dotted”.

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