Line path CapStyle + JoinStyle

A small piece of code that allows to set the line caps and join styles. It's based on the linedash example found it the tutorial PyObjC.

from AppKit import NSBezierPath
size(400, 400)
background(0.5,0.5,0.53)
 
x0,y0 = 30,100
x1,y1 = 130,100
x2,y2 = 200,140
x3,y3 = 200,50
x4,y4 = 300,50
 
'''
   MiterLine JoinStyle = 0
   RoundLine JoinStyle = 1
   BevelLine JoinStyle = 2
   
   ButtLine CapStyle   = 0
   RoundLine CapStyle  = 1
   SquareLine CapStyle = 2
   
'''
 
def capstyle(path, style): 
    path._nsBezierPath.setLineCapStyle_(style)
    return path
    
def joinstyle(path, style): 
    path._nsBezierPath.setLineJoinStyle_(style)
    return path
 
strokewidth(15)
stroke(1)
nofill()
 
l = BezierPath()
l.moveto(x0, y0)
l.lineto(x1, y1)
l.lineto(x2, y2)
l.lineto(x3, y3)
l.lineto(x4, y4)
capstyle(l, 1)
joinstyle(l, 2)
drawpath(l)
 
g = BezierPath()
g.moveto(x0, y0+150)
g.lineto(x1, y1+150)
g.lineto(x2, y2+150)
g.lineto(x3, y3+150)
g.lineto(x4, y4+150)
capstyle(g, 3)
joinstyle(g, 1)
drawpath(g)

They sound interesting enough to include in the next release.

I added a ticket in Trac, so you can follow up on this issue:

Not sure if its Nodebox or PyObjC issue, it is not working anymore in OS X Lion, Nodebox 1.9.7rc1
