+and mask source position.

+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{xdest}{Destination device context x position.}

+\docparam{ydest}{Destination device context y position.}

+\docparam{dstWidth}{Width of destination area.}

+\docparam{srcHeight}{Height of source area to be copied.}
+
+\docparam{logicalFunc}{Logical function to use: see \helpref{wxDC::SetLogicalFunction}{wxdcsetlogicalfunction}.}
+
+\docparam{useMask}{If true, Blit does a transparent blit using the mask that is associated with the bitmap
+selected into the source device context. The Windows implementation does the following if \texttt{MaskBlt} cannot be used:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item Creates a temporary bitmap and copies the destination area into it.
+\item Copies the source area into the temporary bitmap using the specified logical function.
+\item Sets the masked area in the temporary bitmap to BLACK by ANDing the
+mask bitmap with the temp bitmap with the foreground colour set to WHITE
+and the background colour set to BLACK.
+\item Sets the unmasked area in the destination area to BLACK by ANDing the
+mask bitmap with the destination area with the foreground colour set to BLACK
+and the background colour set to WHITE.
+\item ORs the temporary bitmap with the destination area.
+\item Deletes the temporary bitmap.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+This sequence of operations ensures that the source's transparent area need not be black,
+and logical functions are supported.
+
+{\bf Note:} on Windows, blitting with masks can be speeded up considerably by compiling
+wxWidgets with the \texttt{wxUSE\_DC\_CACHE} option enabled. You can also influence whether \texttt{MaskBlt}
+or the explicit mask blitting code above is used, by using \helpref{wxSystemOptions}{wxsystemoptions} and
+setting the {\bf no-maskblt} option to 1.

+
+\docparam{xsrcMask}{Source x position on the mask. If both xsrcMask and ysrcMask are -1, xsrc and ysrc
+will be assumed for the mask source position. Currently only implemented on Windows.}

+\docparam{ysrcMask}{Source y position on the mask. If both xsrcMask and ysrcMask are -1, xsrc and ysrc
+will be assumed for the mask source position. Currently only implemented on Windows.}

+\wxheading{Remarks}

+wxDC::StretchBlit is only implemented under wxMAC and wxMSW.
