Description

Pens can be Cosmetic and Geomeric. Cosmetic pens are always 1 pixel wide, while geometric pens can have any width. But width of geometric pens are defined in world units and thus depends on transforms (scaling, rotation, shear, reflection) applied to canvas. Operations with cosmetic pens are faster.
