View Source wxPen (wx v2.4.3)
A pen is a drawing tool for drawing outlines.
It is used for drawing lines and painting the outline of rectangles, ellipses, etc. It has a colour, a width and a style.
Note: On a monochrome display, wxWidgets shows all non-white pens as black.
Do not initialize objects on the stack before the program commences, since other
required structures may not have been set up yet. Instead, define global pointers to
objects and create them in wxApp::OnInit() (not implemented in wx) or when required.
An application may wish to dynamically create pens with different characteristics, and
there is the consequent danger that a large number of duplicate pens will be created.
Therefore an application may wish to get a pointer to a pen by using the global list of
pens ?wxThePenList, and calling the member function wxPenList::FindOrCreatePen() (not
implemented in wx). See wxPenList (not implemented in wx) for more info.
This class uses reference counting and copy-on-write internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the data using the reference counting, are not affected.
Predefined objects (include wx.hrl):
?wxNullPen
?wxBLACK_DASHED_PEN
?wxBLACK_PEN
?wxBLUE_PEN
?wxCYAN_PEN
?wxGREEN_PEN
?wxYELLOW_PEN
?wxGREY_PEN
?wxLIGHT_GREY_PEN
?wxMEDIUM_GREY_PEN
?wxRED_PEN
?wxTRANSPARENT_PEN
?wxWHITE_PEN

Summary
Functions
Destroys the object
Returns the pen cap style, which may be one of wxCAP\_ROUND, wxCAP\_PROJECTING and wxCAP\_BUTT.
Returns a reference to the pen colour.
Returns the pen join style, which may be one of wxJOIN\_BEVEL, wxJOIN\_ROUND and wxJOIN\_MITER.
Returns the pen style.
Returns the pen width.
Returns true if the pen is initialised.
Default constructor.
Copy constructor, uses overview_refcount.
Constructs a pen from a colour object, pen width and style.
Sets the pen cap style, which may be one of wxCAP\_ROUND, wxCAP\_PROJECTING and wxCAP\_BUTT.
The pen's colour is changed to the given colour.
Sets the pen join style, which may be one of wxJOIN\_BEVEL, wxJOIN\_ROUND and wxJOIN\_MITER.
Set the pen style.
Sets the pen width.
Types
-type wxPen() :: wx:wx_object().
Functions
-spec destroy(This :: wxPen()) -> ok.
Destroys the object
-spec getCap(This) -> wx:wx_enum() when This :: wxPen().
Returns the pen cap style, which may be one of wxCAP\_ROUND, wxCAP\_PROJECTING and wxCAP\_BUTT.
The default is wxCAP_ROUND.
See: setCap/2
-spec getColour(This) -> wx:wx_colour4() when This :: wxPen().
Returns a reference to the pen colour.
See: setColour/4
-spec getJoin(This) -> wx:wx_enum() when This :: wxPen().
Returns the pen join style, which may be one of wxJOIN\_BEVEL, wxJOIN\_ROUND and wxJOIN\_MITER.
The default is wxJOIN_ROUND.
See: setJoin/2
-spec getStyle(This) -> wx:wx_enum() when This :: wxPen().
Returns the pen style.
See:
Returns the pen width.
See: setWidth/2
Returns true if the pen is initialised.
Notice that an uninitialized pen object can't be queried for any pen properties and all calls to the accessor methods on it will result in an assert failure.
-spec new() -> wxPen().
Default constructor.
The pen will be uninitialised, and isOk/1 will return false.
-spec new(Colour) -> wxPen() when Colour :: wx:wx_colour(); (Pen) -> wxPen() when Pen :: wxPen().
Copy constructor, uses overview_refcount.
-spec new(Colour, [Option]) -> wxPen() when Colour :: wx:wx_colour(), Option :: {width, integer()} | {style, wx:wx_enum()}.
Constructs a pen from a colour object, pen width and style.
Remark: Different versions of Windows and different versions of other platforms support very different subsets of the styles above so handle with care.
See:
-spec setCap(This, CapStyle) -> ok when This :: wxPen(), CapStyle :: wx:wx_enum().

The default is wxCAP_ROUND.
See: getCap/1
-spec setColour(This, Colour) -> ok when This :: wxPen(), Colour :: wx:wx_colour().
The pen's colour is changed to the given colour.
See: getColour/1
-spec setJoin(This, Join_style) -> ok when This :: wxPen(), Join_style :: wx:wx_enum().

The default is wxJOIN_ROUND.
See: getJoin/1
-spec setStyle(This, Style) -> ok when This :: wxPen(), Style :: wx:wx_enum().
Set the pen style.
See: new/2
Sets the pen width.
