In this example, the circles represent fillet radius settings. The top row shows the proposed fillets on the
left and the filleted results on the right. The bottom row shows the proposed fillets on the left, but in the
results on the right, not all corners are filleted. After the first fillet is applied, the next corner cannot be
filleted because the line segment is not long enough. This corner is skipped, and the final corner is filleted.
