\section{\class{wxRegion}}\label{wxregion}

A wxRegion represents a simple or complex region on a device context or window. It uses
reference counting, so copying and assignment operations are fast.

\func{bool}{Union}{\param{const wxBitmap\&}{ bmp}}

Finds the union of this region and the the non-transparent pixels of a
bitmap. Bitmap's mask is used to determine transparency. If the bitmap doesn't
have a mask, solid rectangle of bitmap's dimensions is used.

\func{bool}{Union}{\param{const wxBitmap\&}{ bmp},
                  \param{const wxColour\&}{ transColour},
		  \param{int}{ tolerance = 0}}

Finds the union of this region and the the non-transparent pixels of a
bitmap. Colour to be treated as transparent is specified in the
\arg{transColour} argument, along with an
optional colour tolerance value.

\wxheading{Return value}

{\tt true} if successful, {\tt false} otherwise.

\wxheading{Remarks}

This operation creates a region that combines all of this region and the second region.
The result is stored in this region.

for any overlapping areas. The result is stored in this region.

\membersection{wxRegion::operator $=$}\label{wxregionassign}

\func{void}{operator $=$}{\param{const wxRegion\&}{ region}}

Copies {\it region} by reference counting.

\section{\class{wxRegionIterator}}\label{wxregioniterator}

This class is used to iterate through the rectangles in a region,
typically when examining the damaged regions of a window within an OnPaint call.

To use it, construct an iterator object on the stack and loop through the
regions, testing the object and incrementing the iterator at the end of the loop.

See \helpref{wxPaintEvent}{wxpaintevent} for an example of use.
