   *
   * @values:
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_NONE ::
   *     Value~0 is reserved.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_MONO ::
   *     A monochrome bitmap, using 1~bit per pixel.  Note that pixels are
   *     stored in most-significant order (MSB), which means that the
   *     left-most pixel in a byte has value 128.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY ::
   *     An 8-bit bitmap, generally used to represent anti-aliased glyph
   *     images.  Each pixel is stored in one byte.  Note that the number of
   *     'gray' levels is stored in the `num_grays` field of the @FT_Bitmap
   *     structure (it generally is 256).
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY2 ::
   *     A 2-bit per pixel bitmap, used to represent embedded anti-aliased
   *     bitmaps in font files according to the OpenType specification.  We
   *     haven't found a single font using this format, however.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY4 ::
   *     A 4-bit per pixel bitmap, representing embedded anti-aliased bitmaps
   *     in font files according to the OpenType specification.  We haven't
   *     found a single font using this format, however.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD ::
   *     An 8-bit bitmap, representing RGB or BGR decimated glyph images used
   *     for display on LCD displays; the bitmap is three times wider than
   *     the original glyph image.  See also @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V ::
   *     An 8-bit bitmap, representing RGB or BGR decimated glyph images used
   *     for display on rotated LCD displays; the bitmap is three times
   *     taller than the original glyph image.  See also
   *     @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V.
   *
   *   FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA ::
   *     [Since 2.5] An image with four 8-bit channels per pixel,
   *     representing a color image (such as emoticons) with alpha channel.
   *     For each pixel, the format is BGRA, which means, the blue channel
   *     comes first in memory.  The color channels are pre-multiplied and in
   *     the sRGB colorspace.  For example, full red at half-translucent
   *     opacity will be represented as '00,00,80,80', not '00,00,FF,80'.

   *
   * @description:
   *   A structure used to describe a bitmap or pixmap to the raster.  Note
   *   that we now manage pixmaps of various depths through the `pixel_mode`
   *   field.
   *
   * @fields:
   *   rows ::
   *     The number of bitmap rows.
   *
   *   width ::
   *     The number of pixels in bitmap row.
   *
   *   pitch ::
   *     The pitch's absolute value is the number of bytes taken by one
   *     bitmap row, including padding.  However, the pitch is positive when
   *     the bitmap has a 'down' flow, and negative when it has an 'up' flow.
   *     In all cases, the pitch is an offset to add to a bitmap pointer in
   *     order to go down one row.
   *
   *     Note that 'padding' means the alignment of a bitmap to a byte
   *     border, and FreeType functions normally align to the smallest
   *     possible integer value.
   *
   *     For the B/W rasterizer, `pitch` is always an even number.
   *
   *     To change the pitch of a bitmap (say, to make it a multiple of 4),
   *     use @FT_Bitmap_Convert.  Alternatively, you might use callback
   *     functions to directly render to the application's surface; see the
   *     file `example2.cpp` in the tutorial for a demonstration.
   *
   *   buffer ::
   *     A typeless pointer to the bitmap buffer.  This value should be
   *     aligned on 32-bit boundaries in most cases.
   *
   *   num_grays ::
   *     This field is only used with @FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY; it gives the
   *     number of gray levels used in the bitmap.
   *
   *   pixel_mode ::
   *     The pixel mode, i.e., how pixel bits are stored.  See @FT_Pixel_Mode
   *     for possible values.
   *
   *   palette_mode ::
   *     This field is intended for paletted pixel modes; it indicates how
   *     the palette is stored.  Not used currently.
   *
   *   palette ::
   *     A typeless pointer to the bitmap palette; this field is intended for
   *     paletted pixel modes.  Not used currently.
   *
   * @note:
   *   `width` and `rows` refer to the *physical* size of the bitmap, not the
   *   *logical* one.  For example, if @FT_Pixel_Mode is set to
   *   `FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD`, the logical width is a just a third of the
   *   physical one.
   *
   *   An empty bitmap with a NULL `buffer` is valid, with `rows` and/or
   *   `pitch` also set to 0.  Such bitmaps might be produced while rendering
   *   empty or degenerate outlines.

   *
   * @description:
   *   This structure is used to describe an outline to the scan-line
   *   converter.
   *
   * @fields:
   *   n_contours ::
   *     The number of contours in the outline.
   *
   *   n_points ::
   *     The number of points in the outline.
   *
   *   points ::
   *     A pointer to an array of `n_points` @FT_Vector elements, giving the
   *     outline's point coordinates.
   *
   *   tags ::
   *     A pointer to an array of `n_points` chars, giving each outline
   *     point's type.
   *
   *     If bit~0 is unset, the point is 'off' the curve, i.e., a Bezier
   *     control point, while it is 'on' if set.
   *
   *     Bit~1 is meaningful for 'off' points only.  If set, it indicates a
   *     third-order Bezier arc control point; and a second-order control
   *     point if unset.
   *
   *     If bit~2 is set, bits 5-7 contain the drop-out mode (as defined in
   *     the OpenType specification; the value is the same as the argument to
   *     the 'SCANTYPE' instruction).
   *
   *     Bits 3 and~4 are reserved for internal purposes.
   *
   *   contours ::
   *     An array of `n_contours` shorts, giving the end point of each
   *     contour within the outline.  For example, the first contour is
   *     defined by the points '0' to `contours[0]`, the second one is
   *     defined by the points `contours[0]+1` to `contours[1]`, etc.
   *
   *   flags ::
   *     A set of bit flags used to characterize the outline and give hints
   *     to the scan-converter and hinter on how to convert/grid-fit it.  See
   *     @FT_OUTLINE_XXX.
   *
   * @note:
   *   The B/W rasterizer only checks bit~2 in the `tags` array for the first
   *   point of each contour.  The drop-out mode as given with
   *   @FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS, @FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS, and
   *   @FT_OUTLINE_INCLUDE_STUBS in `flags` is then overridden.

   * @enum:
   *   FT_OUTLINE_XXX
   *
   * @description:
   *   A list of bit-field constants used for the flags in an outline's
   *   `flags` field.
   *
   * @values:
   *   FT_OUTLINE_NONE ::
   *     Value~0 is reserved.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_OWNER ::
   *     If set, this flag indicates that the outline's field arrays (i.e.,
   *     `points`, `flags`, and `contours`) are 'owned' by the outline
   *     object, and should thus be freed when it is destroyed.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_EVEN_ODD_FILL ::
   *     By default, outlines are filled using the non-zero winding rule.  If
   *     set to 1, the outline will be filled using the even-odd fill rule
   *     (only works with the smooth rasterizer).
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_REVERSE_FILL ::
   *     By default, outside contours of an outline are oriented in
   *     clock-wise direction, as defined in the TrueType specification.
   *     This flag is set if the outline uses the opposite direction
   *     (typically for Type~1 fonts).  This flag is ignored by the scan
   *     converter.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS ::
   *     By default, the scan converter will try to detect drop-outs in an
   *     outline and correct the glyph bitmap to ensure consistent shape
   *     continuity.  If set, this flag hints the scan-line converter to
   *     ignore such cases.  See below for more information.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS ::
   *     Select smart dropout control.  If unset, use simple dropout control.
   *     Ignored if @FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS is set.  See below for more
   *     information.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_INCLUDE_STUBS ::
   *     If set, turn pixels on for 'stubs', otherwise exclude them.  Ignored
   *     if @FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS is set.  See below for more
   *     information.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP ::
   *     [Since 2.10.3] This flag indicates that this outline contains
   *     overlapping contours and the anti-aliased renderer should perform
   *     oversampling to mitigate possible artifacts.  This flag should _not_
   *     be set for well designed glyphs without overlaps because it quadruples
   *     the rendering time.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_HIGH_PRECISION ::
   *     This flag indicates that the scan-line converter should try to
   *     convert this outline to bitmaps with the highest possible quality.
   *     It is typically set for small character sizes.  Note that this is
   *     only a hint that might be completely ignored by a given
   *     scan-converter.
   *
   *   FT_OUTLINE_SINGLE_PASS ::
   *     This flag is set to force a given scan-converter to only use a
   *     single pass over the outline to render a bitmap glyph image.
   *     Normally, it is set for very large character sizes.  It is only a
   *     hint that might be completely ignored by a given scan-converter.
   *
   * @note:
   *   The flags @FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS, @FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS, and
   *   @FT_OUTLINE_INCLUDE_STUBS are ignored by the smooth rasterizer.
   *
   *   There exists a second mechanism to pass the drop-out mode to the B/W
   *   rasterizer; see the `tags` field in @FT_Outline.
   *
   *   Please refer to the description of the 'SCANTYPE' instruction in the
   *   [OpenType specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/typography/opentype/spec/tt_instructions#scantype)

   *   Scanline Converter
   *
   * @abstract:
   *   How vectorial outlines are converted into bitmaps and pixmaps.
   *
   * @description:
   *   A raster or a rasterizer is a scan converter in charge of producing a
   *   pixel coverage bitmap that can be used as an alpha channel when
   *   compositing a glyph with a background.  FreeType comes with two
   *   rasterizers: bilevel `raster1` and anti-aliased `smooth` are two
   *   separate modules.  They are usually called from the high-level
   *   @FT_Load_Glyph or @FT_Render_Glyph functions and produce the entire
   *   coverage bitmap at once, while staying largely invisible to users.
   *
   *   Instead of working with complete coverage bitmaps, it is also possible
   *   to intercept consecutive pixel runs on the same scanline with the same
   *   coverage, called _spans_, and process them individually.  Only the
   *   `smooth` rasterizer permits this when calling @FT_Outline_Render with
   *   @FT_Raster_Params as described below.
   *
   *   Working with either complete bitmaps or spans it is important to think
   *   of them as colorless coverage objects suitable as alpha channels to
   *   blend arbitrary colors with a background.  For best results, it is
   *   recommended to use gamma correction, too.
   *
   *   This section also describes the public API needed to set up alternative
   *   @FT_Renderer modules.
