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.

This version of StartDrawingOnTop() is used to specify that the area
that will be drawn on coincides with the given window. It is
recommended that an area of the screen is specified with
StartDrawingOnTop(wxRect*) because with large regions, flickering
effects are noticeable when destroying the temporary transparent window
used to implement this feature.
You might use this function when implementing a drag feature, for
example as in the wxSplitterWindow implementation.
@remarks This function is probably obsolete since the X implementations
allow drawing directly on the screen now. However, the fact
that this function allows the screen to be refreshed
afterwards, may be useful to some applications.
