    @class wxSVGFileDC

    A wxSVGFileDC is a device context onto which graphics and text can be
    drawn, and the output produced as a vector file, in SVG format.

    This format can be read by a range of programs, including a Netscape plugin
    (Adobe) and the open source Inkscape program (http://inkscape.org/).  Full
    details are given in the W3C SVG recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/).

    The intention behind wxSVGFileDC is that it can be used to produce a file
    corresponding to the screen display context, wxSVGFileDC, by passing the
    wxSVGFileDC as a parameter instead of a wxDC. Thus the wxSVGFileDC
    is a write-only class.

    As the wxSVGFileDC is a vector format, raster operations like GetPixel()
    are unlikely to be supported. However, the SVG specification allows for PNG
    format raster files to be embedded in the SVG, and so bitmaps, icons and
    blit operations in wxSVGFileDC are supported.

    A more substantial SVG library (for reading and writing) is available at
    the wxArt2D website <http://wxart2d.sourceforge.net/>.
