# 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 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.
