71    *
72    * @values:
73    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_ROUND ::
74    *     Used to render rounded line joins.  Circular arcs are used
75    *     to join two lines smoothly.
76    *
77    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL ::
78    *     Used to render beveled line joins.  The outer corner of
79    *     the joined lines is filled by enclosing the triangular
80    *     region of the corner with a straight line between the
81    *     outer corners of each stroke.
82    *
83    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED ::
84    *     Used to render mitered line joins, with fixed bevels if the
85    *     miter limit is exceeded.  The outer edges of the strokes
86    *     for the two segments are extended until they meet at an
87    *     angle.  If the segments meet at too sharp an angle (such
88    *     that the miter would extend from the intersection of the
89    *     segments a distance greater than the product of the miter
90    *     limit value and the border radius), then a bevel join (see
91    *     above) is used instead.  This prevents long spikes being
92    *     created.  FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED generates a miter
93    *     line join as used in PostScript and PDF.
94    *
95    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE ::
96    *   FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER ::
97    *     Used to render mitered line joins, with variable bevels if
98    *     the miter limit is exceeded.  The intersection of the
99    *     strokes is clipped at a line perpendicular to the bisector
100    *     of the angle between the strokes, at the distance from the
101    *     intersection of the segments equal to the product of the
102    *     miter limit value and the border radius.  This prevents
103    *     long spikes being created.
104    *     FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE generates a mitered line
105    *     join as used in XPS.  FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER is an alias
