Remarks

As of Microsoft Edge, this presentation attribute is animatable with CSS Animations and CSS Transitions.

The ratio of miter length (distance between the outer tip and the inner corner of the miter) to strokeWidth is directly related to the angle (theta) between the segments in user space by the formula: miterLength / stroke-width = 1 / sin ( theta / 2 )
