<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQPen class defines how a <a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> should draw lines and outlines
of shapes.
<p>
<p> A pen has a style, width, color, cap style and join style.
<p> The pen style defines the line type. The default pen style is <a href="ntqt.html#PenStyle-enum">TQt::SolidLine</a>. Setting the style to <a href="ntqt.html#PenStyle-enum">NoPen</a> tells the painter to
not draw lines or outlines.
<p> When drawing 1 pixel wide diagonal lines you can either use a very
fast algorithm (specified by a line width of 0, which is the
default), or a slower but more accurate algorithm (specified by a
line width of 1). For horizontal and vertical lines a line width
of 0 is the same as a line width of 1. The cap and join style have
no effect on 0-width lines.
<p> The pen color defines the color of lines and text. The default
line color is black. The <a href="tqcolor.html">TQColor</a> documentation lists predefined
colors.
<p> The cap style defines how the end points of lines are drawn. The
join style defines how the joins between two lines are drawn when
multiple connected lines are drawn (<a href="tqpainter.html#drawPolyline">TQPainter::drawPolyline</a>()
etc.). The cap and join styles only apply to wide lines, i.e. when
the width is 1 or greater.
<p> Use the <a href="tqbrush.html">TQBrush</a> class to specify fill styles.
<p> Example:
<pre>
<a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> painter;
TQPen pen( red, 2 ); // red solid line, 2 pixels wide
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &amp;anyPaintDevice ); // paint something
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#setPen">setPen</a>( pen ); // set the red, wide pen
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#drawRect">drawRect</a>( 40,30, 200,100 ); // draw a rectangle
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#setPen">setPen</a>( blue ); // set blue pen, 0 pixel width
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#drawLine">drawLine</a>( 40,30, 240,130 ); // draw a diagonal in rectangle
painter.<a href="tqpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done
</pre>
<p> See the <a href="ntqt.html#PenStyle-enum">TQt::PenStyle</a> enum type for a complete list of pen
styles.
<p> With reference to the end points of lines, for wide (non-0-width)
pens it depends on the cap style whether the end point is drawn or
not. <a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> will try to make sure that the end point is drawn
for 0-width pens, but this cannot be absolutely guaranteed because
the underlying drawing engine is free to use any (typically
accelerated) algorithm for drawing 0-width lines. On all tested
systems, however, the end point of at least all non-diagonal lines
are drawn.
<p> A pen's <a href="#color">color</a>(), <a href="#width">width</a>(), <a href="#style">style</a>(), <a href="#capStyle">capStyle</a>() and <a href="#joinStyle">joinStyle</a>() can
be set in the constructor or later with <a href="#setColor">setColor</a>(), <a href="#setWidth">setWidth</a>(),
<a href="#setStyle">setStyle</a>(), <a href="#setCapStyle">setCapStyle</a>() and <a href="#setJoinStyle">setJoinStyle</a>(). Pens may also be
compared and streamed.
