"A wx.DC is a device context onto which graphics and text can be
drawn. It is intended to represent a number of output devices in a
generic way, so a window can have a device context associated with it,
and a printer also has a device context. In this way, the same piece
of code may write to a number of different devices, if the device
context is used as a parameter.

Derived types of wxDC have documentation for specific features only,
so refer to this section for most device context information.

The wx.DC class is abstract and can not be instantiated, you must use
one of the derived classes instead.  Which one will depend on the
situation in which it is used.", "");

Note that in X, text drawing isn't handled consistently with the
mapping mode; a font is always specified in point size. However,
setting the user scale (see `SetUserScale`) scales the text
appropriately. In Windows, scalable TrueType fonts are always used; in
X, results depend on availability of fonts, but usually a reasonable
match is found.

The coordinate origin is always at the top left of the screen/printer.

Drawing to a Windows printer device context uses the current mapping
mode, but mapping mode is currently ignored for PostScript output.
