+This wxDC derivative can be used inside of an \texttt{OnPaint()} event handler to achieve
+double-buffered drawing. Just create an object of this class instead of \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc}
+and make sure \helpref{wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle}{wxwindowgetbackgroundstyle} is called
+with wxBG\_STYLE\_CUSTOM somewhere in the class initialization code, and that's all you have

+
+The difference between \helpref{wxBufferedPaintDC}{wxbufferedpaintdc} and this class,
+is the lightweigthness - on platforms which have native double-buffering, wxAutoBufferedPaintDC is simply
+a typedef of wxPaintDC. Otherwise, it is a typedef of wxBufferedPaintDC.
