The default is wxCOPY, which simply draws with the current colour.
The others combine the current colour and the background using a
-logical operation. wxXOR is commonly used for drawing rubber bands or
+logical operation. wxINVERT is commonly used for drawing rubber bands or
moving outlines, since drawing twice reverts to the original colour.
\membersection{wxDC::SetMapMode}\label{wxdcsetmapmode}
If the argument is wxNullPen, the current pen is selected out of the device
context, and the original pen restored.

+when drawing into a monochrome bitmap.

\membersection{wxDC::SetTextBackground}\label{wxdcsettextbackground}
\func{void}{SetTextBackground}{\param{const wxColour\& }{colour}}
Sets the current text foreground colour for the DC.

\membersection{wxDC::SetUserScale}\label{wxdcsetuserscale}
\func{void}{SetUserScale}{\param{double}{ xScale}, \param{double}{ yScale}}
Starts a document page (only relevant when outputting to a printer).
+\section{\class{wxDCClipper}}\label{wxdcclipper}
+
+This is a small helper class which sets the specified to its constructor
+clipping region and then automatically destroyes it in its destructor. Using
+it ensures that unwanted clipping region is not left set on the DC.
