+"This simple class provides a simple way to avoid flicker: when drawing
+on it, everything is in fact first drawn on an in-memory buffer (a
+`wx.Bitmap`) and then copied to the screen only once, when this object
+is destroyed. You can either provide a buffer bitmap yourself, and
+reuse it the next time something needs painted, or you can let the
+buffered DC create and provide a buffer bitmap itself.
+
+Buffered DCs can be used in the same way as any other device context.
+wx.BufferedDC itself typically replaces `wx.ClientDC`, if you want to
+use it in your EVT_PAINT handler, you should look at
+`wx.BufferedPaintDC`. You can also use a wx.BufferedDC without
+providing a target DC. In this case the operations done on the dc
+will only be written to the buffer bitmap and *not* to any window, so
+you will want to have provided the buffer bitmap and then reuse it
+when it needs painted to the window.
+
+Please note that GTK+ 2.0 and OS X provide double buffering themselves
+natively. You may want to use `wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered` to
+determine whether you need to use buffering or not, or use
+`wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC` to avoid needless double buffering on systems
+that already do it automatically.

+ as the bitmap doesn't have to be recreated each time but it
+ also requires more memory as the bitmap is never freed. The
+ bitmap should have appropriate size, anything drawn outside of
+ its bounds is clipped. If wx.NullBitmap is used then a new
+ buffer will be allocated that is the same size as the dc.

+If your window is already fully buffered in a `wx.Bitmap` then your
+EVT_PAINT handler can be as simple as just creating a
+``wx.BufferedPaintDC`` as it will `Blit` the buffer to the window
