Remarks

X# provides a set of predefined pens, which are specified in the Pen:Init() method (the default color and width is used). In addition, if desired, you can also create a brush by specifying a color, line style, and width. Each window has a current pen, which can be set or changed using the Window:Pen property. A window's pen is used in subsequent line and rectangle drawing operations, and should not be deleted while it is the current selection.

Examples

The following example creates a pen and draws a line:

Copy

1oMyPen := Pen{Color{COLORRED}, LINESOLID, 1}
2oOldPen := oMyWin:Pen
3oMyWin:Pen := oMyPen
4oMyWin:MoveTo(Point{100,100})
5oMyWin:LineTo(Point{200,100})
6oMyWin:Pen := oOldPen
