11 Logical raster operations which can be used with wxDC::SetLogicalFunction
12 and some other wxDC functions (e.g. wxDC::Blit and wxDC::StretchBlit).
14 The description of the values below refer to how a generic @e src source pixel
15 and the corresponding @e dst destination pixel gets combined together to produce
16 the final pixel. E.g. @c wxCLEAR and @c wxSET completely ignore the source
17 and the destination pixel and always put zeroes or ones in the final surface.

40 Flood styles used by wxDC::FloodFill.
44 /** The flooding occurs until a colour other than the given colour is encountered. */
47 /** The area to be flooded is bounded by the given colour. */
52 The mapping used to transform @e logical units to @e device units.
58 Each logical unit is 1 device pixel.
59 This is the default mapping mode for all wxDC-derived classes.
63 /** Each logical unit is 1 millimeter. */
66 /** Each logical unit is 1/10 of a millimeter. */
70 Each logical unit is 1/20 of a @e "printer point", or 1/1440 of an inch
71 (also known as "twip"). Equivalent to about 17.64 micrometers.
76 Each logical unit is a @e "printer point" i.e. 1/72 of an inch.
77 Equivalent to about 353 micrometers.
87 A wxDC is a @e "device context" onto which graphics and text can be drawn.
88 It is intended to represent different output devices and offers a common
89 abstract API for drawing on any of them.
91 wxWidgets offers an alternative drawing API based on the modern drawing
92 backends GDI+, CoreGraphics and Cairo. See wxGraphicsContext, wxGraphicsRenderer
93 and related classes. There is also a wxGCDC linking the APIs by offering
94 the wxDC API ontop of a wxGraphicsContext.
96 wxDC is an abstract base class and cannot be created directly.
97 Use wxPaintDC, wxClientDC, wxWindowDC, wxScreenDC, wxMemoryDC or
98 wxPrinterDC. Notice that device contexts which are associated with windows
99 (i.e. wxClientDC, wxWindowDC and wxPaintDC) use the window font and colours
100 by default (starting with wxWidgets 2.9.0) but the other device context
101 classes use system-default values so you always must set the appropriate
102 fonts and colours before using them.
104 In addition to the versions of the methods documented below, there
105 are also versions which accept single wxPoint parameter instead
106 of the two wxCoord ones or wxPoint and wxSize instead of the four
109 Beginning with wxWidgets 2.9.0 the entire wxDC code has been
110 reorganized. All platform dependent code (actually all drawing code)
111 has been moved into backend classes which derive from a common
112 wxDCImpl class. The user-visible classes such as wxClientDC and
113 wxPaintDC merely forward all calls to the backend implementation.
116 @section dc_units Device and logical units
118 In the wxDC context there is a distinction between @e logical units and @e device units.
120 @b Device units are the units native to the particular device; e.g. for a screen,
121 a device unit is a @e pixel. For a printer, the device unit is defined by the
122 resolution of the printer (usually given in @c DPI: dot-per-inch).
124 All wxDC functions use instead @b logical units, unless where explicitely
125 stated. Logical units are arbitrary units mapped to device units using
126 the current mapping mode (see wxDC::SetMapMode).
128 This mechanism allows to reuse the same code which prints on e.g. a window
129 on the screen to print on e.g. a paper.
132 @section dc_alpha_support Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel
134 On Mac OS X colours with alpha channel are supported. Instances of wxPen
135 or wxBrush that are built from wxColour use the colour's alpha values
136 when stroking or filling.

292 and the current brush is used for drawing the pie.
294 @a x and @a y specify the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner
295 of the rectangle that contains the ellipse.
297 @a width and @a height specify the width and height of the rectangle
298 that contains the ellipse.

335 Draws a line from the first point to the second. The current pen is
336 used for drawing the line. Note that the point (@a x2, @a y2) is not
337 part of the line and is not drawn by this function (this is consistent
338 with the behaviour of many other toolkits).

409 Draws two or more filled polygons using an array of @a points, adding
410 the optional offset coordinates.
412 Notice that for the platforms providing a native implementation of this
413 function (Windows and PostScript-based wxDC currently), this is more
414 efficient than using DrawPolygon() in a loop.

426 The polygons maybe disjoint or overlapping. Each polygon specified in a
427 call to DrawPolyPolygon() must be closed. Unlike polygons created by
428 the DrawPolygon() member function, the polygons created by this

462 current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling
465 If @a radius is positive, the value is assumed to be the radius of the
466 rounded corner. If @a radius is negative, the absolute value is assumed
467 to be the @e proportion of the smallest dimension of the rectangle.
468 This means that the corner can be a sensible size relative to the size
469 of the rectangle, and also avoids the strange effects X produces when
470 the corners are too big for the rectangle.

897 @name Bit-Block Transfer operations (blit)
902 Copy from a source DC to this DC, specifying the destination
903 coordinates, size of area to copy, source DC, source coordinates,
904 logical function, whether to use a bitmap mask, and mask source
908 Destination device context x position.

914 Height of source area to be copied.
916 Source device context.
918 Source device context x position.
920 Source device context y position.
922 Logical function to use, see SetLogicalFunction().
924 If @true, Blit does a transparent blit using the mask that is
925 associated with the bitmap selected into the source device context.
926 The Windows implementation does the following if MaskBlt cannot be
929 <li>Creates a temporary bitmap and copies the destination area into
931 <li>Copies the source area into the temporary bitmap using the
932 specified logical function.</li>
933 <li>Sets the masked area in the temporary bitmap to BLACK by ANDing
934 the mask bitmap with the temp bitmap with the foreground colour
935 set to WHITE and the bg colour set to BLACK.</li>
936 <li>Sets the unmasked area in the destination area to BLACK by

938 foreground colour set to BLACK and the background colour set to
940 <li>ORs the temporary bitmap with the destination area.</li>
941 <li>Deletes the temporary bitmap.</li>
943 This sequence of operations ensures that the source's transparent
944 area need not be black, and logical functions are supported.
945 @n @b Note: on Windows, blitting with masks can be speeded up
946 considerably by compiling wxWidgets with the wxUSE_DC_CACHE option
947 enabled. You can also influence whether MaskBlt or the explicit
948 mask blitting code above is used, by using wxSystemOptions and
949 setting the @c no-maskblt option to 1.
951 Source x position on the mask. If both xsrcMask and ysrcMask are
952 @c -1, xsrc and ysrc will be assumed for the mask source position.

1078 Sets the current background brush for the DC.
1080 void SetBackground(const wxBrush
& brush
);
1083 Sets the current brush for the DC.
1085 If the argument is wxNullBrush, the current brush is selected out of
1086 the device context (leaving wxDC without any valid brush), allowing the
1087 current brush to be destroyed safely.
1089 @see wxBrush, wxMemoryDC (for the interpretation of colours when
1090 drawing into a monochrome bitmap)

1137 Gets in @a colour the colour at the specified location. Not available
1138 for wxPostScriptDC or wxMetafileDC.
1140 @note Setting a pixel can be done using DrawPoint().
1143 The wxColour value is returned and is not required as a parameter.
1146 bool GetPixel(wxCoord x
, wxCoord y
, wxColour
* colour
) const;
1149 Returns the resolution of the device in pixels per inch.
1151 wxSize
GetPPI() const;
1154 Gets the horizontal and vertical extent of this device context in @e device units.
1155 It can be used to scale graphics to fit the page.
1157 For example, if @e maxX and @e maxY represent the maximum horizontal
1158 and vertical 'pixel' values used in your application, the following
1159 code will scale the graphic to fit on the printer page:
1164 double scaleX = (double)(maxX / w);
1165 double scaleY = (double)(maxY / h);
1166 dc.SetUserScale(min(scaleX, scaleY),min(scaleX, scaleY));
1170 In place of a single overloaded method name, wxPython implements the
1172 - GetSize() - Returns a wxSize.
1173 - GetSizeWH() - Returns a 2-tuple (width, height).
1176 void GetSize(wxCoord
* width
, wxCoord
* height
) const;
1181 wxSize
GetSize() const;
1184 Returns the horizontal and vertical resolution in millimetres.
1186 void GetSizeMM(wxCoord
* width
, wxCoord
* height
) const;
1191 wxSize
GetSizeMM() const;
1194 Gets the current user scale factor.
1198 void GetUserScale(double* x
, double* y
) const;
1201 Returns @true if the DC is ok to use.
1206 Sets the x and y axis orientation (i.e., the direction from lowest to
1207 highest values on the axis). The default orientation is x axis from
1208 left to right and y axis from top down.
1211 True to set the x axis orientation to the natural left to right
1212 orientation, @false to invert it.
1214 True to set the y axis orientation to the natural bottom up
1215 orientation, @false to invert it.
1217 void SetAxisOrientation(bool xLeftRight
, bool yBottomUp
);
1220 Sets the device origin (i.e., the origin in pixels after scaling has
1221 been applied). This function may be useful in Windows printing
1222 operations for placing a graphic on a page.
1224 void SetDeviceOrigin(wxCoord x
, wxCoord y
);
1227 Sets the current logical function for the device context.
1228 It determines how a @e source pixel (from a pen or brush colour, or source
1229 device context if using Blit()) combines with a @e destination pixel in
1230 the current device context.
1231 Text drawing is not affected by this function.
1233 See ::wxRasterOperationMode enumeration values for more info.
1235 The default is @c wxCOPY, which simply draws with the current colour.
1236 The others combine the current colour and the background using a logical
1237 operation. @c wxINVERT is commonly used for drawing rubber bands or moving
1238 outlines, since drawing twice reverts to the original colour.
1240 void SetLogicalFunction(wxRasterOperationMode function
);
1243 The mapping mode of the device context defines the unit of measurement
1244 used to convert @e logical units to @e device units.
1246 Note that in X, text drawing isn't handled consistently with the mapping mode;
1247 a font is always specified in point size. However, setting the user scale (see
1248 SetUserScale()) scales the text appropriately. In Windows, scalable
1249 TrueType fonts are always used; in X, results depend on availability of
1250 fonts, but usually a reasonable match is found.
1252 The coordinate origin is always at the top left of the screen/printer.
1254 Drawing to a Windows printer device context uses the current mapping
1255 mode, but mapping mode is currently ignored for PostScript output.
1257 void SetMapMode(wxMappingMode mode
);
1260 If this is a window DC or memory DC, assigns the given palette to the
1261 window or bitmap associated with the DC. If the argument is
1262 ::wxNullPalette, the current palette is selected out of the device
1263 context, and the original palette restored.
1267 void SetPalette(const wxPalette
& palette
);
1270 Sets the user scaling factor, useful for applications which require
1273 void SetUserScale(double xScale
, double yScale
);
1281 wxDCClipper is a small helper class for setting a clipping region on a wxDC
1282 and unsetting it automatically. An object of wxDCClipper class is typically
1283 created on the stack so that it is automatically destroyed when the object
1284 goes out of scope. A typical usage example:
