- @page overview_dc Device context overview
-
- Classes: wxBufferedDC, wxBufferedPaintDC, wxDC, wxPostScriptDC,
-          wxMetafileDC, wxMemoryDC, wxPrinterDC, wxScreenDC, wxClientDC, 
-          wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC.
-
- A wxDC is a @e device context onto which graphics and text can be drawn.
- The device context is intended to represent a number of output devices in a 
- generic way, with the same API being used throughout.
-
- Some device contexts are created temporarily in order to draw on a window.
- This is @true of wxScreenDC, wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, and wxWindowDC.
- The following describes the differences between these device contexts and 
- when you should use them.
-
- @li @b wxScreenDC. Use this to paint on the screen, as opposed to an individual window.
- @li @b wxClientDC. Use this to paint on the client area of window (the part without
-     borders and other decorations), but do not use it from within an wxPaintEvent.
- @li @b wxPaintDC. Use this to paint on the client area of a window, but @e only from
-     within a wxPaintEvent.
- @li @b wxWindowDC. Use this to paint on the whole area of a window, including decorations.
-     This may not be available on non-Windows platforms.
-
- To use a client, paint or window device context, create an object on the stack with
- the window as argument, for example:
-
- @code
-   void MyWindow::OnMyCmd(wxCommandEvent& event)
-   {
-     wxClientDC dc(window);
-     DrawMyPicture(dc);
-   }
- @endcode
-
- Try to write code so it is parameterised by wxDC - if you do this, the same piece of code may
- write to a number of different devices, by passing a different device context. This doesn't
- work for everything (for example not all device contexts support bitmap drawing) but
- will work most of the time.
