Eli Barzilay c0a8a01222 Changed @itemize{...} to @itemize[...] (done after comparing the doc
tree and verifying that there are no changes).
(Also fixed a few bugs that were in the code)

@defclass/title[brush% object% ()]{
A brush is a drawing tool with a color and a style that is used for
filling in areas, such as the interior of a rectangle or ellipse. On
a monochrome display, all non-white brushes are drawn as black.
In addition to its color and style, a brush can have a stipple bitmap.
This stipple is used only in unsmoothed mode (see @method[dc<%>
set-smoothing]) or in a PostScript drawing context. Painting with a
stipple brush is similar to calling @method[dc<%> draw-bitmap] with
the stipple bitmap in the filled region, except that the bitmap may
not be scaled in the same way (depending on the platform and device).
A brush's style is one of the following:
@itemize[
@item{@indexed-scheme['transparent] --- Draws with no effect (on the
interior of the drawn shape).}
@item{@indexed-scheme['solid] --- Draws using the brush's color. If a
monochrome stipple is installed into the brush, black pixels
from the stipple are transferred to the destination using the
brush's color, and white pixels from the stipple are not
transferred.}
@item{@indexed-scheme['opaque] --- Same as @scheme['solid], except when a
monochrome stipple is installed for unsmoothed or PostScript
drawing; in that case, white pixels from the stipple are
transferred to the destination using the destination's
background color.}
@item{@indexed-scheme['xor] --- In a smoothing mode or if a color
stipple is installed, @scheme['xor] is treated as
@scheme['solid]. Otherwise, the brush's color or colored
(monochrome) stipple is xor-ed with existing destination pixel
values. The @scheme['xor] mapping is unspecified for arbitrary
color combinations, but the mapping provides two guarantees:
@itemize[
@item{Black-and-white drawing to a color or monochrome
destination always works as expected: black xor white = black,
white xor black = black, black xor black = white, and white xor
white = white.}
@item{Performing the same drawing operation twice in a row with
@scheme['xor] is equivalent to a no-op.}
]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['hilite] --- In unsmoothed mode, existing
destination pixels are ``highlighted'' in a platform-specific
way when the brush color is black. Under Windows and X for a
color drawing context, the inverted RGB components of
destination pixel are combined with the RGB components of the
system-wide highlight color using a bitwise ``or'', and the
combination is used. (Under X, the color is specified by the
@ResourceFirst{hiliteColor} preference; see @|mrprefsdiscuss|.)
Under Mac OS X for a color drawing context, the inverted RGB
components of the system-wide highlight color are subtracted
from the RGB components of each destination pixel, and the
difference (or 0 for a negative result) is used. For any
monochrome drawing context, @scheme['hilite] is the same as
@scheme['xor]. For PostScript output, @scheme['hilite] uses a
stipple that is an array of small dots (essentially a
halftone), otherwise @scheme['hilite] is treated like
@scheme['solid] in a smoothing mode.}
@item{@indexed-scheme['panel] --- In unsmoothed mode, draws with the
same color and pattern as a top-level panel background, if the
brush's color is the same as the color returned by
@scheme[get-panel-background] and if the brush has no
stipple. To create a @scheme[canvas%] object that is drawn like
a control, use the @scheme['transparent] canvas style instead,
because certain kinds of nested panels have different
background colors (e.g., a @scheme[tab-panel%] under Mac OS
X). In a smoothing mode, @scheme['panel] is treated as
@scheme['solid].}
@item{The following modes correspond to built-in stipples drawn in
@scheme['solid] mode:
@itemize[
@item{@indexed-scheme['bdiagonal-hatch] --- diagonal lines, top-left to bottom-right}
@item{@indexed-scheme['crossdiag-hatch] --- crossed diagonal lines}
@item{@indexed-scheme['fdiagonal-hatch] --- diagonal lines, top-right to bottom-left}
@item{@indexed-scheme['cross-hatch] --- crossed horizontal and vertical lines}
@item{@indexed-scheme['horizontal-hatch] --- horizontal lines}
@item{@indexed-scheme['vertical-hatch] --- vertical lines}
]
However, when a specific stipple is installed into the brush
for when drawing with a smoothing mode into a non-PostScript
context, the above modes are ignored and @scheme['solid] is
used, instead.}
]
@index['("drawing" "outlines")]{To} draw outline shapes (such as
unfilled boxes and ellipses), use the @scheme['transparent] brush
style. See @method[brush% set-style] for more information about
styles.
To avoid creating multiple brushes with the same characteristics, use
the global @scheme[brush-list%] object
@indexed-scheme[the-brush-list], or provide a color and style to
@xmethod[dc<%> set-brush].
