Power BI Line visual - what are Join Types

[WillBeeSEA]

When formatting a line visual, one formatting section is "Shapes" and under that is the Join Type. (this is not about joining tables)

I see three choices: Miter, Round or Bevel 

I cannot see any difference in the line visual, nor any change in the marker shapes nor anything else.  What are Join Types and where do I see them?

Thank you.

Hello @WillBeeSEA ,

Even I used to wonder the same. Recently, I accidently came across while I was playing with the settings, and one observation is that you will notice the change when the stroke width is high.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

If it helps, please mark it as a solution. Kudos would be a cherry on the top 🙂
If it doesn't, then please share a sample data along with the expected results (preferably an excel file and not an image)

That's great!  Thank you.  I had tried bumping up the stroke width, but not enough to see the difference.
