Purpose
Returns the Pen (line) style currently in use. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
CurrentLinePen()Return Value
Pen
Description
The CurrentLinePen() function returns the current Pen style. MapInfo Pro assigns the current style to any line or polyline objects drawn by the user. If a MapBasic program creates an object through a statement such as Create Line statement, but the statement does not include a Pen clause, the object uses the current Pen style. The return value can be assigned to a Pen variable, or may be used as a parameter within a statement that takes a Pen setting as a parameter (such as Set Map statement).
To extract specific attributes of the Pen style (such as the color), call the StyleAttr() function. For more information about Pen settings, see Pen clause.
