They wrap GDI+ on +Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X, and allow path-based +drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating +point cooridnant system. Currently they can only target drawing to +windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming. The APIs may +evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but +there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work. +There is also a transitional wx.GCDC class that provides the wx.DC API +on top of wx.GraphicsContext. Docs and a demo are still MIA.
