@defclass/title[pen% object% ()]{
A pen is a drawing tool with a color, width, and style. A pen draws
lines and outlines, such as the outline of a rectangle. On a
monochrome display, all non-white pens are drawn as black.
In addition to its color, width, and style, a pen can have a stipple
bitmap that is a 8 x 8 monochrome bitmap. This stipple is used only
in unsmoothed mode (see @method[dc<%> set-smoothing]) or in a
PostScript drawing context. Painting with a stipple pen is similar to
calling @method[dc<%> draw-bitmap] with the stipple bitmap in region
painted by the pen.
A pen's style is one of the following:
@itemize{
@item{@indexed-scheme['transparent] --- Draws with no effect (on the
outline of the drawn shape).}
@item{@indexed-scheme['solid] --- Draws using the pen's color. If a
(monochrome) stipple is installed into the pen, 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['xor] --- In unsmoothed mode, the pen's color
or colored 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.}
}
In a smoothing mode, @scheme['xor] is equivalent to @scheme['solid].}
@item{@indexed-scheme['hilite] --- In unsmoothed mode, existing
destination pixels are ``highlighted'' in a platform-specific
way when the pen color is black. Under Windows 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 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. Under
X or for any monochrome drawing context, @scheme['hilite] is the
same as @scheme['xor]. In a smoothing mode, @scheme['hilite] is
treated like @scheme['solid].}
@item{The following special pen modes use the pen's color, and they only
apply when a stipple is not used:
@itemize{
@item{@indexed-scheme['dot]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['long-dash]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['short-dash]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['dot-dash]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['xor-dot]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['xor-long-dash]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['xor-short-dash]}
@item{@indexed-scheme['xor-dot-dash]}
}}
}
To avoid creating multiple pens with the same characteristics, use the
global @scheme[pen-list%] object @indexed-scheme[the-pen-list], or
provide a color, width, and style to @xmethod[dc<%> set-pen].
A pen of size @scheme[0] uses the minimum line size for the
destination drawing context. In (unscaled) canvases and bitmaps in
unsmoothed mode, a zero-width pen behaves the nearly same as a pen of
size @scheme[1]. In a smoothing mode (including all
@scheme[post-script-dc%] drawing), a pen of size @scheme[0] draws a
line thinner than a pen of size @scheme[1]. If the pen's width is not
an integer, then the width is truncated to an integer (even before
scaling) in unsmoothed mode.

When no argument are provided, the result is a solid black pen of
width @scheme[0]. Otherwise, the result is a pen with the given
color, width, and style. For the case that the color is specified
using a name, see @scheme[color-database<%>] for information about
color names; if the name is not known, the pen's color is black.
