Square pen cap for decorations

[bennn]

(edited 2020-07-03)

Currently, every line on a plot gets drawn with a round pen. This isn't always the right look. I might want tick marks to be squared off. (See crayon-drawing feeling in #48.)

Feature request: add parameters to choose the pen-cap-style/c. The "decorations" pen should be independent from the main "renderers" pen if possible.

(original issue)
Make sure that

• extra axes
• plot boundaries
• tick lines
• (other decorations)

are all drawn with the 'butt pen cap.

Also, add helpers to make hrule and vrule lines.

Hi @bennn is this still an issue?

[alex-hhh]

Actually, my question is why is this an issue? Is there a problem with the way they are drawn now? Would this fix #8?

[bennn]

I think I was thinking that a square pen would look better for ticks, etc.

Now, I'd rather have a parameter to choose the pen cap. I'll update the issue title/description.

This would not fix #8. It might help for lines that are square to the x/y axis, but not for anything else.
