Getting and Setting Caps
QuickDraw GX allows you to specify what to draw at the start and at the end of a shape's contours. In particular, you may specify a start cap for any point shape, and you may specify a start cap and an end cap for any line, curve, polygon, or path shape that has angxOpenFrameFillshape fill. You must always specify cap shapes in primitive form."The Cap Structure" on page 3-99 describes the
gxCapRecordstructure, which you use when retrieving or specifying cap information. That section also describes what types of shapes you may use as cap shapes.You can use the
GXGetStyleCapfunction to retrieve the cap information from a style object and theGXSetStyleCapfunction to specify cap information for a style object.The
GXGetShapeCapandGXSetShapeCapfunctions provide a way to retrieve and specify cap information for the style object associated with a particular shape.
