pen-list% : class?

  superclass: object%

A pen-list% object maintains a list of pen% objects to avoid repeatedly creating pen objects. A pen% object in a pen list cannot be mutated.

A global pen list the-pen-list is created automatically.

(new pen-list%) → (is-a?/c pen-list%)
Creates an empty pen list.

Finds a pen of the given specification, or creates one and adds it to the list. The arguments are the same as for creating a pen% instance. When color-name is provided, however, the return value is #f when no color matching color-name can be found in the-color-database.
