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.

483 current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling
486 If @a radius is positive, the value is assumed to be the radius of the
487 rounded corner. If @a radius is negative, the absolute value is assumed
488 to be the @e proportion of the smallest dimension of the rectangle.
489 This means that the corner can be a sensible size relative to the size
490 of the rectangle, and also avoids the strange effects X produces when

639 Sets the clipping region for this device context to the intersection of

643 The clipping region is an area to which drawing is restricted. Possible
644 uses for the clipping region are for clipping text or for speeding up
645 window redraws when only a known area of the screen is damaged.
647 Notice that you need to call DestroyClippingRegion() if you want to set
648 the clipping region exactly to the region specified.
650 Also note that if the clipping region is empty, any previously set

) const;
1242 Returns the resolution of the device in pixels per inch.
1244 wxSize
GetPPI() const;
1247 Gets the horizontal and vertical extent of this device context in @e device units.
1248 It can be used to scale graphics to fit the page.
1250 For example, if @e maxX and @e maxY represent the maximum horizontal
1251 and vertical 'pixel' values used in your application, the following
1252 code will scale the graphic to fit on the printer page:
1257 double scaleX = (double)(maxX / w);
1258 double scaleY = (double)(maxY / h);
1259 dc.SetUserScale(min(scaleX, scaleY),min(scaleX, scaleY));
1263 In place of a single overloaded method name, wxPython implements the
1265 - GetSize() - Returns a wxSize.
1266 - GetSizeWH() - Returns a 2-tuple (width, height).
1270 In wxPerl there are two methods instead of a single overloaded
1272 - GetSize(): returns a Wx::Size object.
1273 - GetSizeWH(): returns a 2-element list (width, height).
1276 void GetSize(wxCoord
* width
, wxCoord
* height
) const;
1281 wxSize
GetSize() const;
1284 Returns the horizontal and vertical resolution in millimetres.
1286 void GetSizeMM(wxCoord
* width
, wxCoord
* height
) const;
1291 wxSize
GetSizeMM() const;
1294 Gets the current user scale factor.
1297 In wxPerl this method takes no arguments and return a two
1298 element array (x, y).
1303 void GetUserScale(double* x
, double* y
) const;
1306 Returns @true if the DC is ok to use.
1311 Sets the x and y axis orientation (i.e., the direction from lowest to
1312 highest values on the axis). The default orientation is x axis from
1313 left to right and y axis from top down.
1316 True to set the x axis orientation to the natural left to right
1317 orientation, @false to invert it.
1319 True to set the y axis orientation to the natural bottom up
1320 orientation, @false to invert it.
1322 void SetAxisOrientation(bool xLeftRight
, bool yBottomUp
);
1325 Sets the device origin (i.e., the origin in pixels after scaling has
1326 been applied). This function may be useful in Windows printing
1327 operations for placing a graphic on a page.
1329 void SetDeviceOrigin(wxCoord x
, wxCoord y
);
1332 Sets the current logical function for the device context.
1333 It determines how a @e source pixel (from a pen or brush colour, or source
1334 device context if using Blit()) combines with a @e destination pixel in
1335 the current device context.
1336 Text drawing is not affected by this function.
1338 See ::wxRasterOperationMode enumeration values for more info.
1340 The default is @c wxCOPY, which simply draws with the current colour.
1341 The others combine the current colour and the background using a logical
1342 operation. @c wxINVERT is commonly used for drawing rubber bands or moving
1343 outlines, since drawing twice reverts to the original colour.
1345 void SetLogicalFunction(wxRasterOperationMode function
);
1348 The mapping mode of the device context defines the unit of measurement
1349 used to convert @e logical units to @e device units.
1351 Note that in X, text drawing isn't handled consistently with the mapping mode;
1352 a font is always specified in point size. However, setting the user scale (see
1353 SetUserScale()) scales the text appropriately. In Windows, scalable
1354 TrueType fonts are always used; in X, results depend on availability of
1355 fonts, but usually a reasonable match is found.
1357 The coordinate origin is always at the top left of the screen/printer.
1359 Drawing to a Windows printer device context uses the current mapping
1360 mode, but mapping mode is currently ignored for PostScript output.
1362 void SetMapMode(wxMappingMode mode
);
1365 If this is a window DC or memory DC, assigns the given palette to the
1366 window or bitmap associated with the DC. If the argument is
1367 ::wxNullPalette, the current palette is selected out of the device
1368 context, and the original palette restored.
1372 void SetPalette(const wxPalette
& palette
);
1375 Sets the user scaling factor, useful for applications which require
1378 void SetUserScale(double xScale
, double yScale
);
1386 wxDCClipper is a small helper class for setting a clipping region on a wxDC
1387 and unsetting it automatically. An object of wxDCClipper class is typically
1388 created on the stack so that it is automatically destroyed when the object
1389 goes out of scope. A typical usage example:
