NAME

6       wxPen - Functions for wxPen class
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A  pen  is  a drawing tool for drawing outlines. It is used for drawing
10       lines and painting the outline of rectangles, ellipses, etc. It  has  a
11       colour, a width and a style.
12
13       Note:  On  a  monochrome display, wxWidgets shows all non-white pens as
14       black.
15
16       Do not initialize objects on the stack before  the  program  commences,
17       since  other required structures may not have been set up yet. Instead,
18       define global pointers to objects and create  them  in  wxApp::OnInit()
19       (not implemented in wx) or when required.
20
21       An application may wish to dynamically create pens with different char‐
22       acteristics, and there is the consequent danger that a large number  of
23       duplicate  pens  will  be created. Therefore an application may wish to
24       get a pointer to a pen by using the global list of pens  ?wxThePenList,
25       and  calling  the member function wxPenList::FindOrCreatePen() (not im‐
26       plemented in wx). See wxPenList (not implemented in wx) for more info.
27
28       This class uses reference counting and copy-on-write internally so that
29       assignments between two instances of this class are very cheap. You can
30       therefore use actual objects instead  of  pointers  without  efficiency
31       problems.  If  an  instance of this class is changed it will create its
32       own data internally so that other instances,  which  previously  shared
33       the data using the reference counting, are not affected.

DATA TYPES

42       wxPen() = wx:wx_object()
43

EXPORTS

45       new() -> wxPen()
46
47              Default constructor.
48
49              The pen will be uninitialised, and isOk/1 will return false.
50
51       new(Colour) -> wxPen()
52
53       new(Pen) -> wxPen()
54
55              Types:
56
57                 Pen = wxPen()
58
59              Copy constructor, uses overview_refcount.
60
61       new(Colour, Options :: [Option]) -> wxPen()
62
63              Types:
64
65                 Colour = wx:wx_colour()
66                 Option = {width, integer()} | {style, wx:wx_enum()}
67
68              Constructs a pen from a colour object, pen width and style.
69
70              Remark:  Different versions of Windows and different versions of
71              other platforms support very different  subsets  of  the  styles
72              above so handle with care.

74              See: setStyle/2, setColour/4, setWidth/2
75
76       destroy(This :: wxPen()) -> ok
77
78              Destructor.
79
80              See: reference-counted object destruction
81
82              Remark:  Although all remaining pens are deleted when the appli‐
83              cation exits, the application should try to clean  up  all  pens
84              itself.  This  is  because wxWidgets cannot know if a pointer to
85              the pen object is stored in an application data  structure,  and
86              there is a risk of double deletion.
87
88       getCap(This) -> wx:wx_enum()
89
90              Types:
91
92                 This = wxPen()
93
94              Returns  the pen cap style, which may be one of wxCAP_ROUND, wx‐
95              CAP_PROJECTING and wxCAP_BUTT.
96
97              The default is wxCAP_ROUND.

110
111       getJoin(This) -> wx:wx_enum()
112

114
115                 This = wxPen()
116
117              Returns the pen join style, which may be  one  of  wxJOIN_BEVEL,
118              wxJOIN_ROUND and wxJOIN_MITER.
119
120              The default is wxJOIN_ROUND.

128                 This = wxPen()
129
130              Returns the pen style.

133
134       getWidth(This) -> integer()
135
136              Types:
137
138                 This = wxPen()

149
150              Returns true if the pen is initialised.
151
152              Notice that an uninitialized pen object can't be queried for any
153              pen properties and all calls to the accessor methods on it  will
154              result in an assert failure.

162
163              Sets  the  pen  cap  style, which may be one of wxCAP_ROUND, wx‐
164              CAP_PROJECTING and wxCAP_BUTT.
