In this way, the same piece of code may write to a number of different devices,
if the device context is used as a parameter.
-Derived types of wxDC have documentation for specific features
-only, so refer to this section for most device context information.
+Notice that wxDC is an abstract base class and can't be created directly,
+please use \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc}, \helpref{wxClientDC}{wxclientdc},
+\helpref{wxWindowDC}{wxwindowdc}, \helpref{wxScreenDC}{wxscreendc},
+\helpref{wxMemoryDC}{wxmemorydc} or \helpref{wxPrinterDC}{wxprinterdc}.
% VZ: we should really document them instead of this lame excuse, but I don't
% have time for it now, when it is done please remove this
two {\tt wxCoord} ones or {\tt wxPoint} and {\tt wxSize} instead of four of
them.
+\wxheading{Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel}
+
+On Mac OS X when using Core Graphics (wx\_MAC\_USE\_CORE\_GRAPHICS set to 1)
+colors with alpha are supported, so instances {\tt wxPen} or {\tt wxBrush} that are built from {\tt wxColour} use
+the color's alpha values when stroking or filling.
+
+Note that beginning with wxWidgets 2.9.0 the entire wxDC code has been
+reorganized. All platform dependent code (actual all drawing code) has
+been moved into backend classes which derive from a common wxDCImpl
+class. The user-visible classes such as wxClientDC and wxPaintDC
+merely forward all calls to the backend implementation.
