    @class wxDragImage

    This class is used when you wish to drag an object on the screen, and a
    simple cursor is not enough.

    On Windows, the Win32 API is used to achieve smooth dragging. On other
    platforms, wxGenericDragImage is used. Applications may also prefer to use
    wxGenericDragImage on Windows, too.

    @beginWxPythonOnly
    wxPython uses wxGenericDragImage on all platforms, but uses the wxDragImage
    name.
    @endWxPythonOnly

    To use this class, when you wish to start dragging an image, create a
    wxDragImage object and store it somewhere you can access it as the drag
    progresses. Call BeginDrag() to start, and EndDrag() to stop the drag. To
    move the image, initially call Show() and then Move(). If you wish to
    update the screen contents during the drag (for example, highlight an item
    as in the dragimag sample), first call Hide(), update the screen, call
    Move(), and then call Show().

    You can drag within one window, or you can use full-screen dragging either
    across the whole screen, or just restricted to one area of the screen to
    save resources. If you want the user to drag between two windows, then you
    will need to use full-screen dragging.

    If you wish to draw the image yourself, use wxGenericDragImage and override
    DoDrawImage() and GetImageRect().
