`wx:pen%`

Superclass: wx:object%

A pen is a drawing tool for drawing lines and outlines; i.e., for drawing lines and painting the outline of rectangles, ellipses, etc. It has a colour, a width and a style. On a monochrome display, the all non-white pens are drawn as black.

The possible pen styles are:

wx:const-solid
wx:const-dot
wx:const-long-dash
wx:const-short-dash
wx:const-dot-dash
wx:const-stipple -- uses stipple installed with set-stipple.

Instead of using one of these styles, an arbitrary stipple bitmap can be specified.

To avoid creating multiple pens with the same characteristics, use the global wx:pen-list% object wx:the-pen-list.

(make-object wx:pen%) -> wx:pen% object
(make-object wx:pen% colour width style) -> wx:pen% object
    colour : wx:colour% object
    width : small integer
    style : small integer
Creates a pen using a colour object. See wx:pen% for the possible values of the style argument.
(make-object wx:pen% colour-name width style) -> wx:pen% object
    colour-name : string
    width : small integer
    style : small integer
Creates a pen using a colour name; a colour is found for the name through the global wx:colour-database% object wx:thecolour-database. See wx:pen% for the possible values of the style argument.
