-    On Mac OS X colours with alpha channel are supported. Instances of wxPen
-    or wxBrush that are built from wxColour use the colour's alpha values
-    when stroking or filling.
+    In general wxDC methods don't support alpha transparency and the alpha
+    component of wxColour is simply ignored and you need to use wxGraphicsContext
+    for full transparency support. There are, however, a few exceptions: first,
+    under Mac OS X colours with alpha channel are supported in all the normal
+    wxDC-derived classes as they use wxGraphicsContext internally. Second,
+    under all platforms wxSVGFileDC also fully supports alpha channel. In both
+    of these cases the instances of wxPen or wxBrush that are built from
+    wxColour use the colour's alpha values when stroking or filling.
