+These controls don't have the native appearance if only the standard
+line drawing and other graphics primitives are used, because the native
appearance is different under different platforms while the lines are always
drawn in the same way.
This is why we have renderers: wxRenderer is a class which virtualizes the

-say, button, without caring about how exactly this is done. Of course, as we

can draw the button differently in different renderers, this also allows us to
emulate the native look and feel.

+So the renderers work by exposing a large set of high-level drawing functions
which are used by the generic controls. There is always a default global
renderer but it may be changed or extended by the user, see
\helpref{Render sample}{samplerender}.
All drawing functions take some standard parameters:
\begin{itemize}
- \item \arg{win} is the window being drawn. it is normally not used and when
- it is it should only be used as a generic \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}
- (in order to get its low level handle, for example), but you should
- \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.
- \item \arg{rect} the bounding rectangle for the element to be drawn
- \item \arg{flags} the optional flags (none by default) which can be a
- combination of the \texttt{wxCONTROL\_XXX} constants below

+Draw a button like the one used by \helpref{wxComboBox}{wxcombobox} to show a
+drop down window. The usual appearance is a downwards pointing arrow.

+\arg{flags} may have the \texttt{wxCONTROL\_PRESSED} bit set.
