The LPEN structure specifies a logical pen. Pens are used to draw lines and
borders.

lopnStyle  Specifies the pen style. GDI requires that drivers support at
           least the following pen styles.
 
           Value               Meaning
           ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
           LS_SOLID (0)        Draws solid lines.
 
           LS_DASHED (1)       Draws dashed lines.
 
           LS_DOTTED (2)       Draws dotted lines.
 
           LS_DOTDASHED (3)    Draws lines with alternating dots and
                               dashes.
 
           LS_DASHDOTDOT (4)   Draws lines with a repeating pattern of a
                               dash followed by two dots.
 
           LS_NOLINE (5)       Nothing is drawn.
 
           LS_INSIDEFRAME (6)  Creates a pen in which a line is drawn inside
                               the frame of ellipses and rectangles. If the
                               width of the pen is greater than 1 and the
                               pen style is PS_INSIDEFRAME, the line is
                               drawn inside the frame of all primitives
                               except polygons and polylines; the pen is
                               drawn with a logical (dithered) color if the
                               pen color does not match an available RGB
                               value. The PS_INSIDEFRAME style is identical
                               to PS_SOLID if the pen width is less than or
                               equal to 1.
 
lopnWidth  Specifies a POINT structure whose x member contains the pen width
           in device units. A zero-width pen is drawn with the system's
           smallest width. Negative-width pens have no width and are NULL
           pens. The y member is ignored.
 
lopnColor  Specifies the color for the pen. Pen colors are specified as
           physical colors. For palette-capable devices, the value is a
           color index if the high byte is 0x0FFH.
