## Classes
class | wxPenInfo
| This class is a helper used for wxPen creation using named parameter idiom: it allows specifying various wxPen attributes using the chained calls to its clearly named methods instead of passing them in the fixed order to wxPen constructors. More...
class | wxPen
| A pen is a drawing tool for drawing outlines. More...
class | wxPenList
| There is only one instance of this class: wxThePenList. More...

## Enumeration Type Documentation

## ◆ wxPenCap

enum wxPenCap

The possible cap values of a wxPen.

Todo
  use wxPENCAP_ prefix

Enumerator
wxCAP_INVALID |
wxCAP_ROUND |
wxCAP_PROJECTING |
wxCAP_BUTT |

## ◆ wxPenJoin

enum wxPenJoin

The possible join values of a wxPen.

Todo
  use wxPENJOIN_ prefix

Enumerator
wxJOIN_INVALID |
wxJOIN_BEVEL |
wxJOIN_MITER |
wxJOIN_ROUND |

## ◆ wxPenQuality

enum wxPenQuality

Possible values for pen quality.

Pen quality is currently only used in wxMSW, the other ports ignore it and always use the same default pen quality.

In wxMSW the choice of quality affects whether "cosmetic" or "geometric" native pens are used in situations when both are usable. Notably, for dotted and dashed pens of width 1, high quality geometric pens are used by default since wxWidgets 3.1.4, while previous versions used lower quality but much faster cosmetic pens. If drawing performance is more important than the exact appearance of the lines drawn using this pen, low quality may be explicitly selected.

See wxPenInfo::Quality() and wxPen::SetQuality().

Since
  3.1.5

Enumerator
wxPEN_QUALITY_DEFAULT | Select the appropriate quality automatically.
wxPEN_QUALITY_LOW | Less good looking but faster.
wxPEN_QUALITY_HIGH | Best looking, at the expense of speed.
