Class API

class GraphicsPen(GraphicsObject)

A GraphicsPen is used to define the properties of how a stroke is drawn.

The properties and features of this class are similar to wx.Pen, and a wx.Pen can be used to initialize a GraphicsPen using the GraphicsPen.CreateFromPen staticmethod.

Methods

---

__init__(self, colour=wx.BLACK, width=1, style=wx.SOLID)

Create a new GraphicsPen

---

Apply(self, ctx)

Apply this pen’s properties to the given context. Called by GraphicsContext as needed.

---

static CreateFromPattern(pattern, width=1)

Create a GraphicsPen directly from a Cairo Pattern object. This is similar to using a stipple bitmap, but saves a step, and patterns can include gradients, etc.

---

static CreateFromPen(pen)

Convert a wx.Pen to a GraphicsPen

Properties

---

Cap

The style of the end cap used when drawing with the pen.

Type: wx.PenCap

---

Colour

The color associated with this pen, to be used when drawing the line.

Type:wx.Colour

---

Dashes

Dashes is a sequence of values defining the size of line segments and blanks to use when drawing a line.

---

Join

The pen’s join style, used when drawing connected lines.

The default is wx.JOIN_ROUND.

Type: wx.PenJoin

---

Pattern

A pattern to be used when drawing a line with the pen.

Type:Cairo Pattern

---

Stipple

Stipple is a bitmap to use as a pattern when drawing a line with the pen.

This will be converted to a Cairo Pattern when applied to a GraphicsContext.

Type:wx.Bitmap

---

Style

Defines the type of pen, including things like solid, dashed, stipple, etc.

Type: wx.PenStyle

---

Width

The width of the line to be drawn with this pen.
