/**
    @class wxPen

    A pen is a drawing tool for drawing outlines. It is used for drawing
    lines and painting the outline of rectangles, ellipses, etc.
    It has a colour, a width and a style.

    @note On a monochrome display, wxWidgets shows all non-white pens as black.

    Do not initialize objects on the stack before the program commences,
    since other required structures may not have been set up yet.
    Instead, define global pointers to objects and create them in wxApp::OnInit()
    or when required.

    An application may wish to dynamically create pens with different characteristics,
    and there is the consequent danger that a large number of duplicate pens will
    be created. Therefore an application may wish to get a pointer to a pen by using
    the global list of pens ::wxThePenList, and calling the member function
    wxPenList::FindOrCreatePen().
    See wxPenList for more info.

    This class uses @ref overview_refcount "reference counting and copy-on-write" internally
    so that assignments between two instances of this class are very cheap.
    You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without efficiency problems.
    If an instance of this class is changed it will create its own data internally
    so that other instances, which previously shared the data using the reference
    counting, are not affected.

/**
    @class wxPenList

    There is only one instance of this class: ::wxThePenList.
    Use this object to search for a previously created pen of the desired
    type and create it if not already found. In some windowing systems,
    the pen may be a scarce resource, so it can pay to reuse old
    resources if possible. When an application finishes, all pens will
    be deleted and their resources freed, eliminating the possibility of
    'memory leaks'. However, it is best not to rely on this automatic
    cleanup because it can lead to double deletion in some circumstances.

    There are two mechanisms in recent versions of wxWidgets which make the
    pen list less useful than it once was. Under Windows, scarce resources
    are cleaned up internally if they are not being used. Also, a referencing
    counting mechanism applied to all GDI objects means that some sharing
    of underlying resources is possible. You don't have to keep track of pointers,
    working out when it is safe delete a pen, because the referencing counting does
    it for you. For example, you can set a pen in a device context, and then
    immediately delete the pen you passed, because the pen is 'copied'.

    So you may find it easier to ignore the pen list, and instead create
    and copy pens as you see fit. If your Windows resource meter suggests
    your application is using too many resources, you can resort to using
    GDI lists to share objects explicitly.

    The only compelling use for the pen list is for wxWidgets to keep
    track of pens in order to clean them up on exit. It is also kept for
    backward compatibility with earlier versions of wxWidgets.
