85 @class wxDC
86
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.
90
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.
95
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.
103
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
107 wxCoord parameters.
108
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.
114
115
116 @section dc_units Device and logical units
117
118 In the wxDC context there is a distinction between @e logical units and @e device units.
119
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).
123
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).
127
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.
130
131
132 @section dc_alpha_support Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel
133
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.
