Option:Cap preference
From DocR19

Action
Determines whether capping tries to use as many or as few capping faces as possible.
Name String
cap_preference
Scheme
| Type | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| string | "min", "max", "old" | "old" |
C++
| Type | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| char* | "min","max","old" | "old" |
Description
It this option is set to "min", blending tries to use as few capping faces as possible. If this option is set to "max", blending tries to use as many capping faces as possible. If this option is set to "old" (default), blending tries to emulate the old capping algorithm. Usually this gives a maximum number of faces solution, but it will give a minimum number of faces solution if the cap can be started and ended with the same face. The precise set of heuristics of the algorithm cannot be emulated in all cases.
Note: Applications are advised against changing this option in order to obtain the best blending results.
Example
; cap_preference ; Set to minimum number of cap faces (option:set "cap_preference" "min") ;; "old"
