-Note that there is a big difference between stippling in X and Windows.
-On X, the stipple is a mask between the wxBitmap and current colour.
-On Windows, the current colour is ignored, and the bitmap colour is used.
-However, for pre-defined modes like wxCROSS\_HATCH, the behaviour is the
-same for both platforms.
+If the wxSTIPPLE variant is used, the bitmap will be used to fill out the

+text foreground and text background determine what colours are used for

+determine where to draw what.

+Note that under Windows 95, only 8x8 pixel large stipple bitmaps are
+supported, Windows 98 and NT as well as GTK support arbitrary bitmaps.
