Functions
This section describes the functions available for manipulating a style object's geometric properties:
These properties together determine the stylistic variations applied to the frame and the area of a shape when drawn.
- the style attributes
- the curve error
- the pen width
- the caps
- the join
- the dash
- the pattern
For information about creating, disposing of, copying, and comparing style objects as well as information about manipulating style tags and style owner counts, see Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Objects.
For information about the typographic style properties, such as font, text size, and text face, see Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Typography.
In general, there are two types of functions that manipulate the properties of style objects:
The section "Associating Styles With Shapes" on page 3-36 provides an example of both of these types of functions and compares their results.
- functions that require you to provide a reference to the style object itself
- functions that allow you to provide a reference to a shape and affect the style object associated with that shape
Both types of functions are described in this reference section.
