\section{\class{wxPaintDC}}\label{wxpaintdc}

A wxPaintDC must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on the
client area of a window from within an {\bf OnPaint} event.
This should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store
a wxPaintDC object.

To draw on a window from outside {\bf OnPaint}, construct a \helpref{wxClientDC}{wxclientdc} object.

To draw on the whole window including decorations, construct a \helpref{wxWindowDC}{wxwindowdc} object
(Windows only).
