39    *    Generating bordered and stroked glyphs.
40    *
41    * @description:
42    *    This component generates stroked outlines of a given vectorial glyph.
43    *    It also allows you to retrieve the 'outside' and/or the 'inside'
44    *    borders of the stroke.
45    *
46    *    This can be useful to generate 'bordered' glyph, i.e., glyphs
47    *    displayed with a coloured (and anti-aliased) border around their
48    *    shape.

101    *   These values determine how two joining lines are rendered in a
102    *   stroker.
103    *
104    * @values:
105    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_ROUND ::
106    *     Used to render rounded line joins.  Circular arcs are used to join
107    *     two lines smoothly.
108    *
109    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL ::
110    *     Used to render beveled line joins.  The outer corner of the joined
111    *     lines is filled by enclosing the triangular region of the corner
112    *     with a straight line between the outer corners of each stroke.
113    *
114    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED ::
115    *     Used to render mitered line joins, with fixed bevels if the miter
116    *     limit is exceeded.  The outer edges of the strokes for the two
117    *     segments are extended until they meet at an angle.  If the segments
118    *     meet at too sharp an angle (such that the miter would extend from
119    *     the intersection of the segments a distance greater than the product
120    *     of the miter limit value and the border radius), then a bevel join
121    *     (see above) is used instead.  This prevents long spikes being
122    *     created.  `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED` generates a miter line
123    *     join as used in PostScript and PDF.
124    *
125    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE ::
126    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER ::
127    *     Used to render mitered line joins, with variable bevels if the miter
128    *     limit is exceeded.  The intersection of the strokes is clipped at a
129    *     line perpendicular to the bisector of the angle between the strokes,
130    *     at the distance from the intersection of the segments equal to the
131    *     product of the miter limit value and the border radius.  This
132    *     prevents long spikes being created.
133    *     `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE` generates a mitered line join
134    *     as used in XPS.  `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER` is an alias for
135    *     `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE`, retained for backward
136    *     compatibility.
