It is used for painting the background of rectangles, ellipses, etc. It has a colour and a style. On a monochrome display, wxWidgets shows all brushes as white unless the colour is really black. Do not initialize objects on the stack before the program commences, since other required structures may not have been set up yet. Instead, define global pointers to objects and create them in wxApp::OnInit or when required. An application may wish to create brushes with different characteristics dynamically, and there is the consequent danger that a large number of duplicate brushes will be created. Therefore an application may wish to get a pointer to a brush by using the global list of brushes ::wxTheBrushList, and calling the member function wxBrushList::FindOrCreateBrush(). This class uses reference counting and copy-on-write internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the data using the reference counting, are not affected. @library{wxcore} @category{gdi} @stdobjects ::wxNullBrush, ::wxBLUE_BRUSH, ::wxGREEN_BRUSH, ::wxWHITE_BRUSH, ::wxBLACK_BRUSH, ::wxGREY_BRUSH, ::wxMEDIUM_GREY_BRUSH, ::wxLIGHT_GREY_BRUSH, ::wxTRANSPARENT_BRUSH, ::wxCYAN_BRUSH, ::wxRED_BRUSH @see wxBrushList, wxDC, wxDC::SetBrush */ class wxBrush : public wxGDIObject { public: /** Default constructor.
