NAME

       wxPaintEvent - Functions for wxPaintEvent class

DESCRIPTION

       A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.

       The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for painting the window contents. For
       example:

       Notice that you must not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers
       and also don't create wxPaintDC outside of this event handlers.

       You  can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged and only repainting these.
       The rectangles are in terms of the client area,  and  are  unscrolled,  so  you  will  need  to  do  some
       calculations  using  the  current  view position to obtain logical, scrolled units. Here is an example of
       using the wxRegionIterator (not implemented in wx) class:

       Remark: Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a standard control  (such
       as  wxButton)  and  so  you shouldn't attempt to handle paint events for them as even if it might work on
       some platforms, this is inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxEvent
