wxWidgets offers an alternative drawing API based on the modern drawing
backends GDI+, CoreGraphics and Cairo. See wxGraphicsContext, wxGraphicsRenderer
and related classes. There is also a wxGCDC linking the APIs by offering
- the wxDC API ontop of a wxGraphicsContext.
+ the wxDC API on top of a wxGraphicsContext.
wxDC is an abstract base class and cannot be created directly.
Use wxPaintDC, wxClientDC, wxWindowDC, wxScreenDC, wxMemoryDC or
a device unit is a @e pixel. For a printer, the device unit is defined by the
resolution of the printer (usually given in @c DPI: dot-per-inch).

+ All wxDC functions use instead @b logical units, unless where explicitly
stated. Logical units are arbitrary units mapped to device units using
the current mapping mode (see wxDC::SetMapMode).
@section dc_alpha_support Support for Transparency / Alpha Channel
- 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.
+
+
+ @section Support for Transformation Matrix
+
+ On some platforms (currently only under MSW and only on Windows NT, i.e.
+ not Windows 9x/ME, systems) wxDC has support for applying an arbitrary
+ affine transformation matrix to its coordinate system. Call
+ CanUseTransformMatrix() to check if this support is available and then call
+ SetTransformMatrix() if it is. If the transformation matrix is not
+ supported, SetTransformMatrix() always simply returns false and doesn't do
+ anything.
