h1(#wxpaintdc). Wx::PaintDC

This class is used to draw upon Windows within an @evt_paint@
handler. This is the recommended technique to draw lines, shapes and
bitmaps on the screen. 

This class is not instantiated directly. Rather, define an @evt_paint@
handler, and within it call the "paint":window.html#Window_paint method
of the Window you wish to draw upon. This method accepts a block, 
which receives a PaintDC object upon which drawing methods can be called.

This class has no methods of its own; all the drawing methods are
described in the documentation for "DC":dc.html.
