/**
    @class wxPaintDC

    A wxPaintDC must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on the
    client area of a window from within an EVT_PAINT() event handler. This
    should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store a
    wxPaintDC object. If you have an EVT_PAINT() handler, you @e must create a
    wxPaintDC object within it even if you don't actually use it.

    Using wxPaintDC within your EVT_PAINT() handler is important because it
    automatically sets the clipping area to the damaged area of the window.
    Attempts to draw outside this area do not appear.

    To draw on a window from outside your EVT_PAINT() handler, construct a
    wxClientDC object.

    To draw on the whole window including decorations, construct a wxWindowDC
    object (Windows only).

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