Description
===========

This `wx.DC <wx.DC.html>`_ derivative can be used inside of an `OnPaint()` event handler to achieve double-buffered drawing. 

Just create an object of this class instead of `wx.PaintDC <wx.PaintDC.html>`_ and make sure 
`wx.Window.SetBackgroundStyle <wx.Window.html#SetBackgroundStyle>`_ is called with ``wx.BG_STYLE_CUSTOM`` 
somewhere in the class initialization code, and that's all you have to do to (mostly) avoid flicker.

The difference between `wx.BufferedPaintDC <wx.BufferedPaintDC.html>`_ and this class, is the lightweigthness - on 
platforms which have native double-buffering, `wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC` is simply a typedef of `wx.PaintDC`. 
Otherwise, it is a typedef of `wx.BufferedPaintDC`.

Methods

.. method:: __init__(win)

   If the current platform double buffers by default then this DC is the
   same as a plain `wx.PaintDC <wx.PaintDC.html>`_, otherwise it is a 
   `wx.BufferedPaintDC <wx.BufferedPaintDC.html>`_ .   
   
   **Parameters:**

   * `win` (`wx.Window <wx.Window.html>`_)

   **Returns:**

   `wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC <wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC.html>`_
