Right button toggles between round and straight mitering.<br>
Left-click&drag dynamically modifies the miter.

<p>
The MITER command can be used to take the edge off a point where two wires join.
The two existing wires need to be on the the same layer and must have the same
width and wire style.
<p>
<b>Mitering a point</b>
<p>
If you select a point where exactly two straight wires join, an additional wire will
be inserted between these two wires, according to the given <i>radius</i>.
If you click&drag on such a point with the left mouse button, you can define
the mitering wire dynamically.
<p>
<b>Mitering a wire</b>
<p>
If you select a wire (which may also be an arc) somewhere in the middle between its
end points, and that wire is connected to exactly two other straight wires (one at each
end), the selected wire will be "re-mitered" according to the given <i>radius</i>.
If you click&drag on such a wire with the left mouse button, you can define
the mitering wire dynamically.
<p>
<b>Straight versus round mitering</b>
<p>
If <i>radius</i> is positive, the inserted wire will be an arc with the given radius;
if it is negative, a straight wire will be inserted (imagine the <tt>'-'</tt> sign as
indicating "straight"). You can toggle between round and straight mitering by pressing
the right mouse button.
<p>
<b>Miter radius and wire bend style</b>
<p>
The <i>radius</i> you give in the MITER command will be used in all other commands
that draw wires in case the wire bend style is one of the 90 or 45 degree styles.
If you have set round mitering, it will apply to both the 90 and 45 degree bend styles;
in case of straight mitering only the 90 degree bend styles are affected.
