f you read my DevX article "Beautify Your UIs with Perfect Pen and Brush Control," then you know all about how to draw lines that are thick or thin; dashed, striped, or solid; beveled, mitered, or rounded; and that have standard or customized end caps. You also know how to fill areas with solid colors, hatch patterns, linear color gradients, and path color gradients.
The Pen and Brush objects that you use to draw and fill these kinds of objects correspond fairly directly to the pens and brushes that you would use to draw on a piece of paper or paint on a canvas. They allow you to produce remarkable results such as text that shades from one color to another and lines with customized arrows at their end points.
It's quick, easy and you get access to all the articles on DevX.
