KONTEXT: ,,Wenn Sie ihn ganz in die Mitte ziehen wird folgerichtig aus dem Rechteck eine Ellipse (bzw. aus einem abgerundeten Quadrat ein Kreis). Umgekehrt funktioniert es natürlich genauso: je weiter Sie den Ziehpunkt nach links bewegen, umso weniger rund werden die Ecken des Objekts, die Form wird härter – am Ende angelangt werden die Ecken rechtwinklig.''
Does "am Ende angelangt" simply mean "in the end" here?

in the limit
I seem to remember (reaching way back to my school days) that the math texts referred this as something approaching something else "in the limit".

when you reach the end
Does it refer to mouse movements? Mit dem "Ende" ist wohl gemeint, dass sich beim bewegen der Mouse sich die Form der Figur nicht mehr ändert, oder?
