About Geometric Styles
A style is a group of stylistic variations applied to a shape. QuickDraw GX provides two major categories of stylistic variations: geometric variations, which include pen width, dashes, patterns, and so on, and typographic variations, which include font, font size, typestyle, and so on.Both types of stylistic variation are encapsulated in a style object. Like a shape object, a style object is a data structure that you manipulate with functions provided by QuickDraw GX. Each style object has a group of properties, and each style property represents a different stylistic variation.
