    /**
        Increases the size of the rectangle.
        The second form uses the same @a diff for both @a dx and @e dy.
        The first two versions modify the rectangle in place, the last one returns a
        new rectangle leaving this one unchanged.
        The left border is moved farther left and the right border is moved farther
        right by @e dx. The upper border is moved farther up and the bottom border
        is moved farther down by @e dy. (Note the the width and height of the
        rectangle thus change by 2*@a dx and 2*@e dy, respectively.) If one or
        both of @a dx and @a dy are negative, the opposite happens: the rectangle
        size decreases in the respective direction.
        Inflating and deflating behaves "naturally''. Defined more precisely, that
        means:
             "Real'' inflates (that is, @a dx and/or @a dy = 0) are not
                constrained. Thus inflating a rectangle can cause its upper left corner
                to move into the negative numbers. (the versions prior to 2.5.4 forced
                the top left coordinate to not fall below (0, 0), which implied a
                forced move of the rectangle.)
             Deflates are clamped to not reduce the width or height of the
                rectangle below zero. In such cases, the top-left corner is nonetheless
                handled properly. For example, a rectangle at (10, 10) with size (20,
                40) that is inflated by (-15, -15) will become located at (20, 25) at
                size (0, 10). Finally, observe that the width and height are treated
                independently. In the above example, the width is reduced by 20,
                whereas the height is reduced by the full 30 (rather than also stopping
                at 20, when the width reached zero).

    @class wxPenList
    @wxheader{gdicmn.h}

    There is only one instance of this class: @b wxThePenList.  Use
    this object to search for a previously created pen of the desired
    type and create it if not already found. In some windowing systems,
    the pen may be a scarce resource, so it can pay to reuse old
    resources if possible. When an application finishes, all pens will
    be deleted and their resources freed, eliminating the possibility of
    'memory leaks'. However, it is best not to rely on this automatic
    cleanup because it can lead to double deletion in some circumstances.

    There are two mechanisms in recent versions of wxWidgets which make the
    pen list less useful than it once was. Under Windows, scarce resources
    are cleaned up internally if they are not being used. Also, a referencing
    counting mechanism applied to all GDI objects means that some sharing
    of underlying resources is possible. You don't have to keep track of pointers,
    working out when it is safe delete a pen, because the referencing counting does
    it for you. For example, you can set a pen in a device context, and then
    immediately delete the pen you passed, because the pen is 'copied'.

    So you may find it easier to ignore the pen list, and instead create
    and copy pens as you see fit. If your Windows resource meter suggests
    your application is using too many resources, you can resort to using
    GDI lists to share objects explicitly.

    The only compelling use for the pen list is for wxWidgets to keep
    track of pens in order to clean them up on exit. It is also kept for
    backward compatibility with earlier versions of wxWidgets.
