   * @description:
   *    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 coloured (and anti-aliased) border around their
   *    shape.

   * @description:
   *   These values determine how two joining lines are rendered in a
   *   stroker.
   *
   * @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.  If the segments
   *     meet at too sharp an angle (such that the miter would extend from
   *     the intersection of the segments a distance greater than the product
   *     of the miter limit value and the border radius), then a bevel join
   *     (see above) is used instead.  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 at a
   *     line perpendicular to the bisector of the angle between the strokes,
   *     at the distance from the intersection of the segments equal to the
   *     product of the miter limit value and the border radius.  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
   *     compatibility.
