WebKit/Blink-specific notes
- In WebKit- and Blink-based Browsers, a non-standard and deprecated method
ctx.setMiterLimit()is implemented in addition to this property.
Gecko-specific notes
- Starting Gecko 2.0 (Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1), setting
miterLimitto a negative value no longer throws an exception; instead, it properly ignores non-positive values.
