12\section{\class{wxBufferedDC}}\label{wxbuffereddc}
13
14This simple class provides a simple way to avoid flicker: when drawing on it,
15everything is in fact first drawn on an in-memory buffer (a
16\helpref{wxBitmap}{wxbitmap}) and then copied to the screen only once, when this
17object is destroyed.
18
19It can be used in the same way as any other device context. wxBufferedDC itself
20typically replaces \helpref{wxClientDC}{wxclientdc}, if you want to use it in
21your \texttt{OnPaint()} handler, you should look at
22\helpref{wxBufferedPaintDC}{wxbufferedpaintdc}.

48
49If you use the first, default, constructor, you must call one of the
50\helpref{Init}{wxbuffereddcinit} methods later in order to use the object.
51
52The other constructors initialize the object immediately and \texttt{Init()}
53must not be called after using them.
54
55\wxheading{Parameters}
56
57\docparam{dc}{The underlying DC: everything drawn to this object will be
58flushed to this DC when this object is destroyed. You may pass NULL
59in order to just initialize the buffer, and not flush it.}
60
61\docparam{area}{The size of the bitmap to be used for buffering (this bitmap is
62created internally when it is not given explicitely).}
63
64\docparam{buffer}{Explicitly provided bitmap to be used for buffering: this is
65the most efficient solution as the bitmap doesn't have to be recreated each
66time but it also requires more memory as the bitmap is never freed. The bitmap
67should have appropriate size, anything drawn outside of its bounds is clipped.}

72\func{void}{Init}{\param{wxDC *}{dc}, \param{const wxSize\& }{area}}
73
74\func{void}{Init}{\param{wxDC *}{dc}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{buffer}}
75
76These functions initialize the object created using the default constructor.
77Please see \helpref{constructors documentation}{wxbuffereddcctor} for details.

91\section{\class{wxBufferedPaintDC}}\label{wxbufferedpaintdc}
92
93This is a subclass of \helpref{wxBufferedDC}{wxbuffereddc} which can be used
94inside of an \texttt{OnPaint()} event handler. Just create an object of this class instead
95of \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} and that's all you have to do to (mostly)
96avoid flicker. The only thing to watch out for is that if you are using this
97class together with \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}, you probably
98do \textbf{not} want to call \helpref{PrepareDC}{wxscrolledwindowpreparedc} on it as it
99already does this internally for the real underlying wxPaintDC.

116\func{}{wxBufferedPaintDC}{\param{wxWindow *}{window}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{buffer = wxNullBitmap}}
117
118As with \helpref{wxBufferedDC}{wxbuffereddcctor}, you may either provide the
119bitmap to be used for buffering or let this object create one internally (in
120the latter case, the size of the client part of the window is used).

123\membersection{wxBufferedPaintDC::\destruct{wxBufferedPaintDC}}\label{wxbufferedpaintdcdtor}
124
125Copies everything drawn on the DC so far to the window associated with this
126object, using a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc}.
