Sets the style of the pen - all properties at once. All drawing objects that are inherited from the pen-object will use the pen (see "The Object-Oriented Style" in the Programmer's Manual for details). The pen can be made invisible by setting the PenSize to 0.

You can use the psXyz pen styles from Windows GDI, but pen styles other than psSolid are limited by the GDI to pens with a size of 1 pixel under Win 3.x, 9x and ME. So you should always use psSolid until the GDI changes.
