PenPat

Set the graphics pen pattern

#include <Quickdraw.h> Quickdraw

void PenPat(newPat );

PatPtr newPat ; address of a Pattern structure

PenPat sets the pen pattern, which is used by all subsequent Quickdraw

drawing and painting operations.

newPat is the address of an 8-byte Pattern structure.

Notes: This replaces the 8-byte pnPat field of the active GrafPort.

You may use one of the globally- defined patterns, white, gray, ltGray,

dkGray, or black.

PenPat( dkGray ); /* external constant */

Or you can create a pattern and use it:

StuffHex( &myPat, "\p0202020404040808" );

PenPat( &myPat );

Or you can go for the current desktop pattern (as set by the user via the

Control Panel).

PenPat( DeskPattern ); [TOKEN:12074] defined in SysEqu.h */

Or you can use one of the 'standard patterns' by looking it up in the system

resource file:

Pattern myPat; /* structure to hold pattern */

GetIndPattern( &myPat, sysPatListID,12 ); /* brickwork */

PenPat( &myPat );
