Detailed Description

A value class that defines the style for pen strokes.

A pen defines the properties of how lines (that may surround shapes) are rendered.

A pen with width 0 is a cosmetic pen, and is always rendered as 1 pixel width, regardless of transformations. Otherwized, the pen width is modified by the transformation set on the painter.

JavaScript exposability

A WPen is JavaScript exposable. If a WPen is JavaScript bound, it can be accessed in your custom JavaScript code through its handle's jsRef(). At the moment, only the color() property is exposed, e.g. a pen with the color WColor(10,20,30,255) will be represented in JavaScript as:

{
  color: [10,20,30,255]
}

Warning

A WPen that is JavaScript exposed should be modified only through its handle. Any attempt at modifying it will cause an exception to be thrown.

WPen() [2/5]

Wt::WPen::WPen

(

PenStyle

style

)

Creates a black pen with a particular style.

Constructs a black pen of 0 width (i.e. cosmetic single pixel width), with SquareCap line ends and BevelJoin line join style.

The line style is set to style.

WPen() [3/5]

Wt::WPen::WPen

(

const WColor &

color

)

Creates a solid pen of a particular color.

Constructs a solid pen of 0 width (i.e. cosmetic single pixel width), with SquareCap line ends and BevelJoin line join style.

The pen color is set to color.

WPen() [4/5]

Wt::WPen::WPen

(

GlobalColor

color

)

Creates a solid pen of a standard color.

const

Comparison operator.

Returns true if the pens are different.

operator==()

bool Wt::WPen::operator==

other

)

const

Comparison operator.

Returns true if the pens are exactly the same.

setCapStyle()

void Wt::WPen::setCapStyle

(

PenCapStyle
