It can be used in the same way as any other device context. wxBufferedDC itself
typically replaces \helpref{wxClientDC}{wxclientdc}, if you want to use it in
your \texttt{OnPaint()} handler, you should look at
-\helpref{wxBufferedPaintDC}{wxbufferedpaintdc}.
+\helpref{wxBufferedPaintDC}{wxbufferedpaintdc} or \helpref{wxAutoBufferedPaintDC}{wxautobufferedpaintdc}.
+
+Please note that GTK+ 2.0 as well as OS X provide double buffering themselves
++natively. Use \helpref{wxWindow::IsDoubleBuffered}{wxwindowisdoublebuffered} to
++determine whether you need to use buffering or not.

This is a subclass of \helpref{wxBufferedDC}{wxbuffereddc} which can be used
inside of an \texttt{OnPaint()} event handler. Just create an object of this class instead
-of \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} and that's all you have to do to (mostly)
-avoid flicker. The only thing to watch out for is that if you are using this
-class together with \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}, you probably
+of \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} and make sure \helpref{wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle}{wxwindowgetbackgroundstyle}
+is called with wxBG\_STYLE\_CUSTOM somewhere in the class initialization code, and that's all
+you have to do to (mostly) avoid flicker. The only thing to watch out for is that if you are
+using this class together with \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}, you probably
do \textbf{not} want to call \helpref{PrepareDC}{wxscrolledwindowpreparedc} on it as it
already does this internally for the real underlying wxPaintDC.

+
+This wxDC derivative can be used inside of an \texttt{OnPaint()} event handler to achieve
+double-buffered drawing. Just create an object of this class instead of \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc}
+and make sure \helpref{wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle}{wxwindowgetbackgroundstyle} is called
+with wxBG\_STYLE\_CUSTOM somewhere in the class initialization code, and that's all you have
+to do to (mostly) avoid flicker.
+
+The difference between \helpref{wxBufferedPaintDC}{wxbufferedpaintdc} and this class,
+is the lightweigthness - on platforms which have native double-buffering, wxAutoBufferedPaintDC is simply
+a typedef of wxPaintDC. Otherwise, it is a typedef of wxBufferedPaintDC.
