Style-Related Functions Applicable to Bitmap Shapes
As discussed in "Bitmap Styles and Inks" on page 5-8, bitmap shapes make limited use of their style objects. Although you can apply to a bitmap shape any of the functions described in Chapter 3, "Geometric Styles," only the GXSetShapeStyleAttributes function affects the drawing of the bitmap. While you can use this function to set or clear any of a bitmap's style attributes, QuickDraw GX considers only the gxSourceGridStyle style attribute and the gxDeviceGridStyle style attribute when drawing bitmaps; other attributes are ignored.
You may use the other style-related functions (such as GXSetShapePen, GXSetShapeDash, and so on) to set the other properties of a bitmap's style object, and you may use the corresponding functions (GXGetShapePen, GXGetShapeDash, and so on) to examine these properties. However, QuickDraw GX ignores these properties when drawing a bitmap.
