-          \emph{not} assume that it is of some given type as the same renderer
-          function may be reused for drawing different kinds of control.
-    \item \arg{dc} is the \helpref{wxDC}{wxdc} to draw on, only this device
-          context should be used for drawing. It is not necessary to restore
-          pens and brushes for it on function exit but, on the other hand, you
-          shouldn't assume that it is in any specific state on function entry
-          neither: the rendering functions should always prepare it.
