(1) When the value is repeat, it means that the small square with 4 sides will be repeated continuously, and the part beyond the element will be cut off.

(2) When the value is round, it means that the small squares with 4 sides will be covered. The border image is compressed or stretched to achieve full coverage.

(3) When the value is stretch, it means that the small square with 4 sides will be stretched as long as the sides are.
