Data Members

lopnStyle

One of the following flags specifying the style of the pen:

PS_SOLID

The pen is solid.

PS_DASH

The pen is dashed. The width must be less than or equal to one.

PS_DOT

The pen is dotted. The width must be less than or equal to one.

PS_DASHDOT

The pen has alternating dashes and dots. The width must be less than or equal to one.

PS_DASHDOTDOT

The pen has alternating dashes followed by two dots. The width must be less than or equal to one.

PS_NULL

The pen is invisible.

PS_INSIDEFRAME

The pen is solid. Whenever a drawing function draws a figure inside a bounding rectangle, the dimensions of the figure are shrunk so that the entire figure, including the width of the pen, fits entirely within the bounding rectangle.

lopnWidth

The .x member of the structure identifies the width of the pen. A width of zero produces a one-pixel-wide pen no matter what. The .y member of the structure is ignored.

lopnColor

The RGB value of the color of the pen.
