## Detailed Description

A wxGraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.

It is created by a renderer using wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext(). This can be either directly using a renderer instance, or indirectly using the static convenience Create() functions of wxGraphicsContext that always delegate the task to the default renderer.

void MyCanvas::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent &event)
{
// Create paint DC
wxPaintDC dc(this);
// Create graphics context from it
wxGraphicsContext *gc = wxGraphicsContext::Create( dc );
if (gc)
{
// make a path that contains a circle and some lines
gc->SetPen( *wxRED_PEN );
wxGraphicsPath path = gc->CreatePath();
path.AddCircle( 50.0, 50.0, 50.0 );
path.MoveToPoint(0.0, 50.0);
path.AddLineToPoint(100.0, 50.0);
path.MoveToPoint(50.0, 0.0);
path.AddLineToPoint(50.0, 100.0 );
path.CloseSubpath();
path.AddRectangle(25.0, 25.0, 50.0, 50.0);
gc->StrokePath(path);
delete gc;
}
}

virtual bool wxGraphicsContext::SetAntialiasMode | ( | wxAntialiasMode | antialias | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the antialiasing mode, returns true if it supported.

void wxGraphicsContext::SetBrush | ( | const wxBrush & | brush | ) |

Sets the brush for filling paths.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::SetBrush | ( | const wxGraphicsBrush & | brush | ) |
| virtual

Sets the brush for filling paths.

virtual bool wxGraphicsContext::SetCompositionMode | ( | wxCompositionMode | op | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the compositing operator, returns true if it supported.

void wxGraphicsContext::SetFont | ( | const wxFont & | font,
|  | const wxColour & | colour
| ) |  |

Sets the font for drawing text.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::SetFont | ( | const wxGraphicsFont & | font | ) |
| virtual

Sets the font for drawing text.

virtual bool wxGraphicsContext::SetInterpolationQuality | ( | wxInterpolationQuality | interpolation | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the interpolation quality, returns true if it is supported.

Not implemented in Cairo backend currently.

Notice that in wxWidgets 3.0 the default interpolation quality for GDI+-based implementation is wxINTERPOLATION_GOOD and not wxINTERPOLATION_DEFAULT (unlike under OS X with CoreGraphics-based implementation). This will be changed in wxWidgets 3.1 and later version, call this method explicitly instead of relying on the default value to ensure consistent behaviour across different platforms and versions.

void wxGraphicsContext::SetPen | ( | const wxPen & | pen | ) |

Sets the pen used for stroking.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::SetPen | ( | const wxGraphicsPen & | pen | ) |
| virtual

Sets the pen used for stroking.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::SetTransform | ( | const wxGraphicsMatrix & | matrix | ) |
| pure virtual

Sets the current transformation matrix of this context.

virtual bool wxGraphicsContext::ShouldOffset | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

virtual bool wxGraphicsContext::StartDoc | ( | const wxString & | message | ) |
| virtual

Begin a new document (relevant only for printing / pdf etc.) If there is a progress dialog, message will be shown.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::StartPage | ( | wxDouble | width = `0`,
|  | wxDouble | height = `0`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Opens a new page (relevant only for printing / pdf etc.) with the given size in points.

(If both are null the default page size will be used.)

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::StrokeLine | ( | wxDouble | x1,
|  | wxDouble | y1,
|  | wxDouble | x2,
|  | wxDouble | y2
| ) |  |
| virtual

Strokes a single line.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::StrokeLines | ( | size_t | n,
|  | const wxPoint2DDouble * | beginPoints,
|  | const wxPoint2DDouble * | endPoints
| ) |  |
| virtual

Stroke disconnected lines from begin to end points, fastest method available for this purpose.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::StrokeLines | ( | size_t | n,
|  | const wxPoint2DDouble * | points
| ) |  |
| virtual

Stroke lines connecting all the points.

Unlike the other overload of this function, this method draws a single polyline and not a number of disconnected lines.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::StrokePath | ( | const wxGraphicsPath & | path | ) |
| pure virtual

Strokes along a path with the current pen.

virtual void wxGraphicsContext::Translate | ( | wxDouble | dx,
|  | wxDouble | dy
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Translates the current transformation matrix.
