class | wxGenericAnimationCtrl
| Generic implementation of wxAnimationCtrl interface. More...
class | wxBitmapHandler

class | wxBrushList
| A brush list is a list containing all brushes which have been created. More...
class | wxColour
| A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values and an Alpha value, and is used to determine drawing colours. More...
class | wxCursor
| A cursor is a small bitmap usually used for denoting where the mouse pointer is, with a picture that might indicate the interpretation of a mouse click. More...
class | wxDC
| A wxDC is a "device context" onto which graphics and text can be drawn. More...
class | wxDCClipper
| wxDCClipper is a helper class for setting a clipping region on a wxDC during its lifetime. More...
class | wxDCBrushChanger
| wxDCBrushChanger is a small helper class for setting a brush on a wxDC and unsetting it automatically in the destructor, restoring the previous one. More...
class | wxDCPenChanger
| wxDCPenChanger is a small helper class for setting a pen on a wxDC and unsetting it automatically in the destructor, restoring the previous one. More...

class | wxDCTextBgColourChanger
| wxDCTextBgColourChanger is a small helper class for setting a background text colour on a wxDC and unsetting it automatically in the destructor, restoring the previous one. More...
class | wxDCTextBgModeChanger
| wxDCTextBgModeChanger is a small helper class for setting a background text mode on a wxDC and unsetting it automatically in the destructor, restoring the previous one. More...

class | wxFontList
| A font list is a list containing all fonts which have been created. More...
class | wxFontEnumerator
| wxFontEnumerator enumerates either all available fonts on the system or only the ones with given attributes - either only fixed-width (suited for use in programs such as terminal emulators and the like) or the fonts available in the given encoding). More...
class | wxNativeFontInfo
| wxNativeFontInfo is platform-specific font representation: this class should be considered as an opaque font description only used by the native functions, the user code can only get the objects of this type from somewhere and pass it somewhere else (possibly save them somewhere using ToString() and restore them using FromString()) More...
class | wxColourDatabase
| wxWidgets maintains a database of standard RGB colours for a predefined set of named colours. More...
