    @class wxDC

    A wxDC is a @e "device context" onto which graphics and text can be drawn.
    It is intended to represent different output devices and offers a common
    abstract API for drawing on any of them.

    wxWidgets offers an alternative drawing API based on the modern drawing
    backends GDI+, CoreGraphics and Cairo. See wxGraphicsContext, wxGraphicsRenderer
    and related classes. There is also a wxGCDC linking the APIs by offering
    the wxDC API ontop of a wxGraphicsContext.

    wxDC is an abstract base class and cannot be created directly.
    Use wxPaintDC, wxClientDC, wxWindowDC, wxScreenDC, wxMemoryDC or
    wxPrinterDC. Notice that device contexts which are associated with windows
    (i.e. wxClientDC, wxWindowDC and wxPaintDC) use the window font and colours
    by default (starting with wxWidgets 2.9.0) but the other device context
    classes use system-default values so you always must set the appropriate
    fonts and colours before using them.

    In addition to the versions of the methods documented below, there
    are also versions which accept single wxPoint parameter instead
    of the two wxCoord ones or wxPoint and wxSize instead of the four
    wxCoord parameters.

    Beginning with wxWidgets 2.9.0 the entire wxDC code has been
    reorganized. All platform dependent code (actually all drawing code)
    has been moved into backend classes which derive from a common
    wxDCImpl class. The user-visible classes such as wxClientDC and
    wxPaintDC merely forward all calls to the backend implementation.

    On Mac OS X colours with alpha channel are supported. Instances wxPen
    or wxBrush that are built from wxColour use the colour's alpha values
    when stroking or filling.

        @param logicalFunc
            Logical function to use, see SetLogicalFunction().
        @param useMask
            If @true, Blit does a transparent blit using the mask that is
            associated with the bitmap selected into the source device context.
            The Windows implementation does the following if MaskBlt cannot be
            used:
            <ol>
            <li>Creates a temporary bitmap and copies the destination area into
                it.</li>
            <li>Copies the source area into the temporary bitmap using the
                specified logical function.</li>
            <li>Sets the masked area in the temporary bitmap to BLACK by ANDing
                the mask bitmap with the temp bitmap with the foreground colour
                set to WHITE and the bg colour set to BLACK.</li>
            <li>Sets the unmasked area in the destination area to BLACK by
                ANDing the mask bitmap with the destination area with the
                foreground colour set to BLACK and the background colour set to
                WHITE.</li>
            <li>ORs the temporary bitmap with the destination area.</li>
            <li>Deletes the temporary bitmap.</li>
            </ol>
            This sequence of operations ensures that the source's transparent
            area need not be black, and logical functions are supported.
            @n @b Note: on Windows, blitting with masks can be speeded up
            considerably by compiling wxWidgets with the wxUSE_DC_CACHE option
            enabled. You can also influence whether MaskBlt or the explicit
            mask blitting code above is used, by using wxSystemOptions and
            setting the @c no-maskblt option to 1.
        @param xsrcMask
            Source x position on the mask. If both xsrcMask and ysrcMask are
            @c -1, xsrc and ysrc will be assumed for the mask source position.
            Currently only implemented on Windows.
        @param ysrcMask
            Source y position on the mask. If both xsrcMask and ysrcMask are
            @c -1, xsrc and ysrc will be assumed for the mask source position.
            Currently only implemented on Windows.
