Description

Use the pencil keyword to draw lines with the penColor.

When using the Pencil tool, the cursor is a pencil shape (over stack windows) or an arrow (anywhere else). This tool is used to draw the penColor onto an image.

If you try to paint with the pencil on a card that has no images, an image the size of the card is temporarily created to hold the painting that will disppear after changing card; an image must first be created in order to keep a painting. If the current card already has one or more images, painting outside the image has no effect.
