It's mostly a convenience API, though certainly the convenience is substantial compared to doing the calculation manually, especially for anything that isn't a rectangle... 109521 3 junov 2014-07-29 19:37:09 +0000 Mixed feelings. I believe the feature makes a lot of sense and it is relatively low hanging fruit, but I am not seeing any web developer driven interest for it. 109522 4 cabanier 2014-07-29 19:43:42 +0000 (In reply to Justin Novosad from comment #3) > Mixed feelings.

I would be more interested in providing an API that adjusts dashes along a path so the corners look nice. 129678 5 d 2019-03-29 20:31:42 +0000 W3C Bugzilla is closing down, and as such we're closing all feature request bugs against HTML as "WONTFIX", at least wontfix-in-this-bugtracker. If you still think this feature is valuable, please feel free to open a new issue against https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues ; the community has gotten much more active and involved since the Bugzilla days, and you might get a more useful dialogue there.
