Description

wxWindowDC(3)              Erlang Module Definition              wxWindowDC(3)



NAME
       wxWindowDC - Functions for wxWindowDC class

DESCRIPTION
       A  wxWindowDC  must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on
       the whole area of a window (client and decorations). This  should  nor-
       mally  be constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store a wxWin-
       dowDC object.

       To draw on a window from inside an  EVT_PAINT()  handler,  construct  a
       wxPaintDC object instead.

       To draw on the client area of a window from outside an EVT_PAINT() han-
       dler, construct a wxClientDC object.

       A wxWindowDC object is initialized to use the same font and colours  as
       the window it is associated with.

       See: wxDC, wxMemoryDC, wxPaintDC, wxClientDC, wxScreenDC

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxDC
