func drawBlack(inPen pen: any GSPenProtocol & NSObjectProtocol, openPen: (any GSPenProtocol & NSObjectProtocol)?)
```

```objc
- (void) drawBlackInPen:(NSObject<GSPenProtocol> *) pen openPen:(NSObject<GSPenProtocol> *) openPen;
```

```python
drawBlackInPen_openPen_(pen: NSObject<GSPenProtocol>, openPen: NSObject<GSPenProtocol>)
```

## Parameters
