Re: line style code in Cocoa. I have made additional comments to your changes as reported in Mantis #0034744. Would you be able to review please?
@josh
I get these warnings as well but my code compiles and runs OK

from #34744
--- Quote ---1) Thank you for implementing the added cosmetic pen styles.
--- End quote ---
nah. thank you for the patch.
--- Quote ---2) The modification to the patterns for geometric pens is not implemented. I have attached powerpoint slides as evidence that better comparison is possible. These show even better agreement with Windows than my earlier patch.
--- End quote ---
ok. need to do more work (as shown on slide 6)
--- Quote ---3) I have attached a zipped project of the test harness I used to comparing line styles.
--- End quote ---
test project is helpful indeed. mind if I publish it? (on github?)
--- Quote ---4) There is no change to the Carbon implementation. Is this to remain legacy?
--- End quote ---
Yes. well, maybe THIS issue would trigger the change. But honestly, I don't really want to do ANY updates to carbon.
(I'd rather make cocoa run on prior version of macOS instead :))
aside question. what are you developing?
I've never seen ANY developer to prepare a powerpoint presentation as an evidence of (non)working code.
upd: please try the latest trunk. Geometric styles should now be much better.

Just tried revision 61411. Line styles now good. I'll close the ticket.
I have no problem if you wish to publish the test code on github.
I came across the line styles issue when transferring a small Windows scientific project using TAChart. The dotted lines did not look the same. I had recently got a MacBook and now that Lazarus is so much better on MacOS I thought I would give it a try.
My background is in scientific computing and very use to using Powerpoints to publish ideas to colleagues and managers.
Thank you for your help.
