    @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 on top 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.


    @section dc_units Device and logical units

    In the wxDC context there is a distinction between @e logical units and @e device units.

    @b Device units are the units native to the particular device; e.g. for a screen,
    a device unit is a @e pixel. For a printer, the device unit is defined by the
    resolution of the printer (usually given in @c DPI: dot-per-inch).

    All wxDC functions use instead @b logical units, unless where explicitly
    stated. Logical units are arbitrary units mapped to device units using
    the current mapping mode (see wxDC::SetMapMode).

    This mechanism allows to reuse the same code which prints on e.g. a window
    on the screen to print on e.g. a paper.


    @section dc_alpha_support Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel

    In general wxDC methods don't support alpha transparency and the alpha
    component of wxColour is simply ignored and you need to use wxGraphicsContext
    for full transparency support. There are, however, a few exceptions: first,
    under Mac OS X colours with alpha channel are supported in all the normal
    wxDC-derived classes as they use wxGraphicsContext internally. Second,
    under all platforms wxSVGFileDC also fully supports alpha channel. In both
    of these cases the instances of wxPen or wxBrush that are built from
    wxColour use the colour's alpha values when stroking or filling.


    @section Support for Transformation Matrix

    On some platforms (currently only under MSW and only on Windows NT, i.e.
    not Windows 9x/ME, systems) wxDC has support for applying an arbitrary
    affine transformation matrix to its coordinate system. Call
    CanUseTransformMatrix() to check if this support is available and then call
    SetTransformMatrix() if it is. If the transformation matrix is not
    supported, SetTransformMatrix() always simply returns false and doesn't do
    anything.

                ANDing the mask bitmap with the destination area with the
                foreground colour set to BLACK and the background colour set to
                WHITE.</li>

            <li>Deletes the temporary bitmap.</li>

            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_CACHEING 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
            wxDefaultCoord, @a xsrc and @a ysrc will be assumed for the mask
            source position. Currently only implemented on Windows.

/**
    @class wxDCClipper

    wxDCClipper is a helper class for setting a clipping region on a wxDC
    during its lifetime.

    An object of wxDCClipper class is typically created on the stack so that it
    is automatically destroyed when the object goes out of scope. A typical
    usage example:

    @code
    void MyFunction(wxDC& dc)
    {
        wxDCClipper clip(dc, rect);
        // ... drawing functions here are affected by clipping rect ...
    }

    {
        wxDC dc;
        MyFunction(dc);
        // ... drawing functions here are not affected by clipping rect ...
    }
    @endcode

    @note Unlike other similar classes such as wxDCFontChanger, wxDCClipper
        currently doesn't restore the previously active clipping region when it
        is destroyed but simply resets clipping on the associated wxDC. This
        may be changed in the future wxWidgets versions but has to be taken
        into account explicitly in the current one.
