* This component generates stroked outlines of a given vectorial glyph.
* It also allows you to retrieve the 'outside' and/or the 'inside'
* borders of the stroke.
*
* This can be useful to generate 'bordered' glyph, i.e., glyphs
* displayed with a colored (and anti-aliased) border around their
* shape.

*
* @description:
* These values determine how two joining lines are rendered in a

*
* @values:
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_ROUND ::
* Used to render rounded line joins. Circular arcs are used to join
* two lines smoothly.
*
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL ::
* Used to render beveled line joins. The outer corner of the joined
* lines is filled by enclosing the triangular region of the corner
* with a straight line between the outer corners of each stroke.
*
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED ::
* Used to render mitered line joins, with fixed bevels if the miter
* limit is exceeded. The outer edges of the strokes for the two
* segments are extended until they meet at an angle. A bevel join
* (see above) is used if the segments meet at too sharp an angle and
* the outer edges meet beyond a distance corresponding to the meter
* limit. This prevents long spikes being created.
* `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED` generates a miter line join as
* used in PostScript and PDF.
*
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE ::
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER ::
* Used to render mitered line joins, with variable bevels if the miter
* limit is exceeded. The intersection of the strokes is clipped
* perpendicularly to the bisector, at a distance corresponding to
* the miter limit. This prevents long spikes being created.
* `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE` generates a mitered line join
* as used in XPS. `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER` is an alias for
* `FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE`, retained for backward
