Vadim Zeitlin 526954c596 Globally use "wxWindows licence" consistently.
Use "wxWindows licence" and not "wxWidgets licence" (the latter doesn't
exist) and consistently spell "licence" using British spelling.

See #12165.

/**
@class wxMemoryDC
A memory device context provides a means to draw graphics onto a bitmap.
When drawing in to a mono-bitmap, using @c wxWHITE, @c wxWHITE_PEN and
@c wxWHITE_BRUSH will draw the background colour (i.e. 0) whereas all other
colours will draw the foreground colour (i.e. 1).
A bitmap must be selected into the new memory DC before it may be used for
anything. Typical usage is as follows:
@code
// Create a memory DC
wxMemoryDC temp_dc;
temp_dc.SelectObject(test_bitmap);
// We can now draw into the memory DC...
// Copy from this DC to another DC.
old_dc.Blit(250, 50, BITMAP_WIDTH, BITMAP_HEIGHT, temp_dc, 0, 0);
@endcode
Note that the memory DC must be deleted (or the bitmap selected out of it)
before a bitmap can be reselected into another memory DC.
And, before performing any other operations on the bitmap data, the bitmap
must be selected out of the memory DC:
@code
temp_dc.SelectObject(wxNullBitmap);
@endcode
This happens automatically when wxMemoryDC object goes out of scope.

problems related to wxBitmap being a reference counted object (see
@ref overview_refcount).
Also, before using the updated bitmap data, make sure to select it out
of context first (for example by selecting ::wxNullBitmap into the device
context).

bitmap. Selecting the bitmap into a memory DC allows you to draw into
the DC (and therefore the bitmap) and also to use wxDC::Blit() to copy
the bitmap to a window. For this purpose, you may find wxDC::DrawIcon()
easier to use instead.
If the argument is ::wxNullBitmap (or some other uninitialised wxBitmap)
the current bitmap is selected out of the device context, and the
original bitmap restored, allowing the current bitmap to be destroyed
safely.
