: Why are rounded corners in InDesign not perfectly round? At first glance, everything looks fine... Circle is 2p and square behind has rounded corners of 1p but if the stroke is removed, there
At first glance, everything looks fine... Circle is 2p and square behind has rounded corners of 1p but if the stroke is removed, there is clearly some inconsistency. What is the reason for this behavior?
Here is the same process but done in Illustrator, where rounded corners actually work:

Probably because neither the rounded corners nor the circles are true mathematically perfect arcs/circles.
Applications like InDesign, Illustrator and others that are used for vector graphics, use Bézier curves to approximate arcs/circles. They are close, but not perfect.
Also another thing is that transitions from a straight line into a sudden arc can sometimes look a bit odd - so there may some smoothing of the curves going on, to make the transition less extreme, so that it's more pleasing to the eye.
