   1 \section{\class{wxRegion}}\label{wxregion}
   2
   3 A wxRegion represents a simple or complex region on a device context or window. It uses
   4 reference counting, so copying and assignment operations are fast.

 190 \section{\class{wxRegionIterator}}\label{wxregioniterator}
 191
 192 This class is used to iterate through the rectangles in a region,
 193 typically when examining the damaged regions of a window within an OnPaint call.
 194
 195 To use it, construct an iterator object on the stack and loop through the
 196 regions, testing the object and incrementing the iterator at the end of the loop.
 197
 198 See \helpref{wxWindow::OnPaint}{wxwindowonpaint} for an example of use.
