"A brush is a drawing tool for filling in areas. It is used for
painting the background of rectangles, ellipses, etc. when drawing on
a `wx.DC`.  It has a colour and a style.", "

:warning: Do not create instances of wx.Brush before the `wx.App`
    object has been created because, depending on the platform,
    required internal data structures may not have been initialized
    yet.  Instead create your brushes in the app's OnInit or as they
    are needed for drawing.

:note: On monochrome displays all brushes are white, unless the colour
    really is black.
