-TODO: an overview for wxPen.
+wxPen uses a reference counting system, so assignments between brushes are very
+cheap. You can therefore use actual wxPen objects instead of pointers without
+efficiency problems. Once one wxPen object changes its data it will create its
+own pen data internally so that other pens, which previously shared the
+data using the reference counting, are not affected.

Default constructor. The pen will be uninitialised, and \helpref{wxPen::Ok}{wxpenok} will
return FALSE.

+\func{}{wxPen}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ style}}
Constructs a pen from a colour object, pen width and style.

-\func{}{wxPen}{\param{const wxBitmap\&}{ stipple}, \param{const int}{ width}}
+\func{}{wxPen}{\param{const wxBitmap\&}{ stipple}, \param{int}{ width}}
Constructs a stippled pen from a stipple bitmap and a width.
