TObject

Description

TPen is a TFPCustomPen descendant which contains settings for a pen used to draw lines and shapes on a canvas. It includes properties that define the color for the pen, the end cap and join style used for line segments, and a pattern used for user-defined line drawing styles.

Essentially, TPen maps the types used for properties in the FCL ancestor class to the types used in the LCL.

TPen is the type used to implement the Pen property in TCanvas.
