** This class represents the functionality of  a brush object. This class extends the     ** 
** SolidBrush class from the System.Drawing. The BrushExt class includes methods for      ** 
** getting and setting the properties of the brush object.                                ** 
** It encapsulates functionality for defining the color of the brush object.              ** 
**                                                                                        **
