 How do I use Paths and Geometric Pens?


How do I use Paths and Geometric Pens?   

    You will need to call the Windows API function ExtCreatePen() to create a geometric pen style, and use the Canvas.Handle property to use the Windows Path functions. Example:

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      lb : TLogBrush;
    begin
      lb.lbStyle := BS_SOLID;
      lb.lbColor := RGB(255, 0, 0);
      lb.lbHatch := 0;
      Form .Canvas.Pen.Handle :=
        ExtCreatePen(PS_GEOMETRIC or
                     PS_INSIDEFRAME or
                     PS_ENDCAP_SQUARE or
                     PS_JOIN_BEVEL,
                     20,
                     lb,
                     0,
                     nil);
      BeginPath(Form .Canvas.Handle);
      Form .Canvas.MoveTo( 00, 30);
      Form .Canvas.LineTo(200,  00);
      Form .Canvas.LineTo(300, 30);
      EndPath(Form .Canvas.Handle);
      StrokePath(Form .Canvas.Handle);
      Form .Canvas.Pen.Width :=  ;
    end;
