Geometric Styles Reference
Each QuickDraw GX shape includes a shape object, a style object, an ink object, and a transform object. This section describes the data types and functions that are specific to style objects.The "Constants and Data Types" section shows the type definition for the style object, and the structure and enumeration definitions used for five of the properties of style objects: the style attributes, the caps, the join, the dash, and the pattern.
The "Functions" section describes functions that manipulate the geometric style properties: the style attributes, the curve error, the pen width, the caps, the join, the dash, and the pattern. These properties allow you to apply stylistic variations to geometric shapes.
For information regarding creating and manipulating style objects themselves, or manipulating their tags and owner counts, see the chapter "Style Objects" in Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Objects.
For information regarding the typographic style properties--for example, the font, text size, and text face--see the chapter "Typographic Styles" in Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Typography.
