TPenStyle can have one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
psSolid	A solid line.
psDash	A line made up of a series of dashes.
psDot	A line made up of a series of dots.
psDashDot	A line made up of alternating dashes and dots.
psDashDotDot	A line made up of a series of dash-dot-dot combinations.
psClear	No line is drawn (used to omit the line around shapes that draw an outline using the current pen).
psInsideFrame	A solid line, but one that may use a dithered color if Width is greater than 1.
psAlternate	The pen sets every other pixel. (This style is applicable only for cosmetic pens.) This style is only valid for pens created with the ExtCreatePen API function. (See MS Windows SDK docs.) This applies to both VCL and VCL.NET.
psUserStyle	The pen uses a styling array supplied by the user. Thus style is only valid for pens created with the ExtCreatePen API function. (See MS Windows SDK docs.) This applies to both VCL and VCL.NET.
