|phoenix_title|  **wx.GraphicsContext**
==========================================================================================================================================

A :ref:`wx.GraphicsContext`  instance is the object that is drawn upon. 
         

It is created by a renderer using :meth:`wx.GraphicsRenderer.CreateContext` . This can be either directly using a renderer instance, or indirectly using the static convenience :meth:`~wx.GraphicsContext.Create`  functions of :ref:`wx.GraphicsContext`  that always delegate the task to the default renderer. 

::

        def OnPaint(self, event):

            # Create paint DC
            dc = wx.PaintDC(self)

            # Create graphics context from it
            gc = wx.GraphicsContext.Create(dc)

            if gc:

                # make a path that contains a circle and some lines
                gc.SetPen(wx.RED_PEN)
                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)










         



.. note:: 

   For some renderers (like Direct2D or Cairo) processing of drawing operations may be deferred (Direct2D render target normally builds up a batch of rendering commands but defers processing of these commands, Cairo operates on a separate surface) so to make drawing results visible you need to update the content of the context by calling :meth:`wx.GraphicsContext.Flush`   or by destroying the context.

.. class:: wx.GraphicsContext(GraphicsObject)

   A GraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.



   .. method:: BeginLayer(self, opacity : float)

      All rendering will be done into a fully transparent temporary context.

      The clipping region is an area to which drawing is restricted.
