How to: Create a Pen

This example creates a Pen object.

System::Drawing::Pen^ myPen;
myPen = gcnew System::Drawing::Pen(System::Drawing::Color::Tomato);

System.Drawing.Pen myPen;
myPen = new System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Tomato);

Dim myPen As System.Drawing.Pen
myPen = New System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Tomato)

After you have finished using objects that consume system resources, such as Pen objects, you should call Dispose on them.
