==========================================================================================================================================

:ref:`MirrorDC`  is a simple wrapper class which is always associated with a real :ref:`DC`  object and either forwards all of its operations to it without changes (no mirroring takes place) or exchanges `x`  and `y`  coordinates which makes it possible to reuse the same code to draw a figure and its mirror -- i.e.          

reflection related to the diagonal line x == y.

.. class:: MirrorDC(DC)

   MirrorDC is a simple wrapper class which is always associated with a real DC object and either forwards all of its operations to it without changes (no mirroring takes place) or exchanges x and y coordinates which makes it possible to reuse the same code to draw a figure and its mirror -- i.e.
   
   **Possible constructors**::

       MirrorDC(dc, mirror)
       



   .. method:: __init__(self, dc, mirror)

      Creates a (maybe) mirrored DC associated with the real `dc`.                  

      Everything drawn on :ref:`MirrorDC`  will appear (and maybe mirrored) on `dc`. 

      `mirror`  specifies if we do mirror (if it is ``True``) or not (if it is ``False``).                  


      :param `dc`: 
      :type `dc`: DC
      :param `mirror`: 
      :type `mirror`: bool
