- 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.

- 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

+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.
