Title: How to create your own TPen Style
First:
define your penstyle by creating a array of DWord. This array can be
as long as you want to. Just remember to have an even count of
objects of DWord in the array. Mine this on a printer with 600 dpi:
}
kleefPenStyle: array[1..2] of DWORD=(10,10);
{I only had to define the first length of the dot and the first white
space,but add more DWord objects as you like.}
{
Secondly:
define the look of you Pen, by setting the brush.I have created a
variable:
}
logBrush:TLogBrush.
//Set thebrush in your code:
logBrush.lbStyle:=BS_SOLID;
logBrush.lbColor:=Canvas.Pen.Color;
{
Finally:
make your penstyle known to the Pen:
}
Canvas.Pen.Handle:=ExtCreatePen(PS_GEOMETRIC or PS_USERSTYLE,
Canvas.Pen.Width,
logBrush,
Length(kleefPenStyle),@kleefPenStyle);
{By giving PS_USERSTYLE with the dwPenStyle parameter you let Windows
know you've created you own penstyle. The rest of the parameters must
be clear to you.
