__init__(self)
(Constructor)

A wxScreenDC can be used to paint anywhere on the screen. This should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store a wxScreenDC object.

Returns:

ScreenDC

Overrides:

wx.DC.__init__

EndDrawingOnTop(self)

Use this in conjunction with StartDrawingOnTop or StartDrawingOnTopWin to ensure that drawing to the screen occurs on top of existing windows. Without this, some window systems (such as X) only allow drawing to take place underneath other windows.

You might use this pair of functions when implementing a drag feature, for example as in the wx.SplitterWindow implementation.

These functions are 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.

Returns:

bool

StartDrawingOnTop(self, rect=None)

Specify that the area is the given rectangle, or the whole screen if None is passed.

Parameters:

rect
           (type=Rect)

Returns:

bool

EndDrawingOnTop

StartDrawingOnTopWin(self, window)

Specify that the area of the screen to be drawn upon coincides with the given window.

Parameters:

window
           (type=Window)

Returns:

bool

EndDrawingOnTop
