unneeded argument in get_linestyle

JamesRamm · JamesRamm · commit 0bab98249ee1 · 2014-08-08T15:24:08.000+01:00
The argument 'style' in get_linestyle of GraphicsContextBase is
unnecessary and blocks any future attempt to make a property by doing
linestyle = property(get_linestyle, set_linestyle)

Also made GraphicsContextBase to inherit from object which is necessary
for any future 'propertyfication'
