phoenix_title wx.GraphicsContext

A wx.GraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.

It is created by a renderer using wx.GraphicsRenderer.CreateContext . This can be either directly using a renderer instance, or indirectly using the static convenience Create functions of 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 wx.GraphicsContext.Flush or by destroying the context.

class wx.GraphicsContext(GraphicsObject)

A GraphicsContext instance is the object that is drawn upon.


Methods

BeginLayer(self, opacity)

Clip(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



Clip (self, region)

Sets the clipping region to the intersection of the given region and the previously set clipping region.

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

Parameters:

region (wx.Region) –

Note

  • Clipping region should be given in logical coordinates.

  • Calling this function can only make the clipping region smaller, never larger.

  • You need to call ResetClip first if you want to set the clipping region exactly to the region specified.

  • If resulting clipping region is empty, then all drawing upon the context is clipped out (all changes made by drawing operations are masked out).



Clip (self, x, y, w, h)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters:
  • x (wx.Double) –
