End caps
Canvas has three types of end caps. For preset pen strokes, Canvas indicates the type of end cap in
the respective manager in the Attributes palette.
Flat: The end of the stroke is flush and square with the end of an open path or dash. By
default, end caps use this setting.
Round: A semi-circular cap extends half the pen width beyond the endpoint of an open path
or dash.
Square: The stroke tip is square, similar to the Flat option, but extends half the line width
beyond the endpoint, like the Round option.
