A wxSVGFileDC is a device context onto which graphics and text can be drawn, and the output produced as a vector file, in the SVG format (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/ ). This format can be read by a range of programs, including a Netscape plugin (Adobe), full details at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/SVG-Implementations.htm8 Vector formats may often be smaller than raster formats.
The intention behind wxSVGFileDC is that it can be used to produce a file corresponding to the screen display context, wxSVGFileDC, by passing the wxSVGFileDC as a parameter instead of a wxSVGFileDC. Thus the wxSVGFileDC is a write-only class.
As the wxSVGFileDC is a vector format, raster operations like GetPixel are unlikely to be supported. However, the SVG specification allows for PNG format raster files to be embedded in the SVG, and so bitmaps, icons and blit operations into the wxSVGFileDC are supported.
A more substantial SVG library (for reading and writing) is available at http://www.xs4all.nl/~kholwerd/wxstuff/canvas/htmldocbook/aap.html

Convert device X coordinate to relative logical coordinate, using the current mapping mode but ignoring the x axis orientation. Use this function for converting a width, for example.
wxCoord DeviceToLogicalY(wxCoord y)
Converts device Y coordinate to logical coordinate, using the current mapping mode.
wxCoord DeviceToLogicalYRel(wxCoord y)

Draws an arc of a circle, centred on (xc, yc), with starting point (x1, y1) and ending at (x2, y2). The current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling the shape.
The arc is drawn in an anticlockwise direction from the start point to the end point.
void DrawBitmap(const wxBitmap& bitmap, wxCoord x, wxCoord y, bool transparent)
Draw a bitmap on the device context at the specified point. If transparent is true and the bitmap has a transparency mask, the bitmap will be drawn transparently.
When drawing a mono-bitmap, the current text foreground colour will be used to draw the foreground of the bitmap (all bits set to 1), and the current text background colour to draw the background (all bits set to 0). See also SetTextForeground, SetTextBackground and wxMemoryDC (REF NOT FOUND).
void DrawCheckMark(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord width, wxCoord height)
void DrawCheckMark(const wxRect &rect)
Draws a check mark inside the given rectangle.
void DrawCircle(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord radius)
void DrawCircle(const wxPoint& pt, wxCoord radius)

void DrawEllipse(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord width, wxCoord height)
void DrawEllipse(const wxPoint& pt, const wxSize& size)
void DrawEllipse(const wxRect& rect)
Draws an ellipse contained in the rectangle specified either with the given top left corner and the given size or directly. The current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling the shape.
See also
void DrawEllipticArc(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord width, wxCoord height, double start, double end)
Draws an arc of an ellipse. The current pen is used for drawing the arc and the current brush is used for drawing the pie.
x and y specify the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the rectangle that contains the ellipse.
width and height specify the width and height of the rectangle that contains the ellipse.
start and end specify the start and end of the arc relative to the three-o'clock position from the center of the rectangle. Angles are specified in degrees (360 is a complete circle). Positive values mean counter-clockwise motion. If start is equal to end, a complete ellipse will be drawn.
void DrawIcon(const wxIcon& icon, wxCoord x, wxCoord y)
Draw an icon on the display (does nothing if the device context is PostScript). This can be the simplest way of drawing bitmaps on a window.
void DrawLine(wxCoord x1, wxCoord y1, wxCoord x2, wxCoord y2)
Draws a line from the first point to the second. The current pen is used for drawing the line.
void DrawLines(int n, wxPoint points[], wxCoord xoffset = 0, wxCoord yoffset = 0)
void DrawLines(wxList *points, wxCoord xoffset = 0, wxCoord yoffset = 0)
Draws lines using an array of points of size n, or list of pointers to points, adding the optional offset coordinate. The current pen is used for drawing the lines. The programmer is responsible for deleting the list of points.
void DrawPolygon(int n, wxPoint points[], wxCoord xoffset = 0, wxCoord yoffset = 0,
int fill_style = wxODDEVEN_RULE)
void DrawPolygon(wxList *points, wxCoord xoffset = 0, wxCoord yoffset = 0,
int fill_style = wxODDEVEN_RULE)
Draws a filled polygon using an array of points of size n, or list of pointers to points, adding the optional offset coordinate.
The last argument specifies the fill rule: wxODDEVEN_RULE (the default) or wxWINDING_RULE.
The current pen is used for drawing the outline, and the current brush for filling the shape. Using a transparent brush suppresses filling. The programmer is responsible for deleting the list of points.
Note that wxWindows automatically closes the first and last points.
void DrawPoint(wxCoord x, wxCoord y)
Draws a point using the current pen.
void DrawRectangle(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord width, wxCoord height)
Draws a rectangle with the given top left corner, and with the given size. The current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling the shape.
void DrawRotatedText(const wxString& text, wxCoord x, wxCoord y, double angle)
Draws the text rotated by angle degrees.
The wxMSW wxDC and wxSVGFileDC rotate the text around slightly different points, depending on the size of the font
void DrawRoundedRectangle(wxCoord x, wxCoord y, wxCoord width, wxCoord height, double radius = 20)
Draws a rectangle with the given top left corner, and with the given size. The corners are quarter-circles using the given radius. The current pen is used for the outline and the current brush for filling the shape.
If radius is positive, the value is assumed to be the radius of the rounded corner. If radius is negative, the absolute value is assumed to be the proportion of the smallest dimension of the rectangle. This means that the corner can be a sensible size relative to the size of the rectangle, and also avoids the strange effects X produces when the corners are too big for the rectangle.
void DrawSpline(wxList *points)
Draws a spline between all given control points, using the current pen. Doesn't delete the wxList and contents. The spline is drawn using a series of lines, using an algorithm taken from the X drawing program 'XFIG'.
void DrawSpline(wxCoord x1, wxCoord y1, wxCoord x2, wxCoord y2, wxCoord x3, wxCoord y3)
Draws a three-point spline using the current pen.
void DrawText(const wxString& text, wxCoord x, wxCoord y)
Draws a text string at the specified point, using the current text font, and the current text foreground and background colours.
The coordinates refer to the top-left corner of the rectangle bounding the string. See wxSVGFileDC::GetTextExtent for how to get the dimensions of a text string, which can be used to position the text more precisely.

See also wxFont (REF NOT FOUND).
void SetLogicalFunction(int function)
Only wxCOPY is avalaible; trying to set one of the othe values will fail
void SetMapMode(int int)
The mapping mode of the device context defines the unit of measurement used to convert logical units to device units. Note that in X, text drawing isn't handled consistently with the mapping mode; a font is always specified in point size. However, setting the user scale (see wxSVGFileDC::SetUserScale) scales the text appropriately. In Windows, scaleable TrueType fonts are always used; in X, results depend on availability of fonts, but usually a reasonable match is found.
Note that the coordinate origin should ideally be selectable, but for now is always at the top left of the screen/printer.
Drawing to a Windows printer device context under UNIX uses the current mapping mode, but mapping mode is currently ignored for PostScript output.
The mapping mode can be one of the following:
wxMM_TWIPS | Each logical unit is 1/20 of a point, or 1/1440 of an inch. |
wxMM_POINTS | Each logical unit is a point, or 1/72 of an inch. |
wxMM_METRIC | Each logical unit is 1 mm. |
wxMM_LOMETRIC | Each logical unit is 1/10 of a mm. |
wxMM_TEXT | Each logical unit is 1 pixel. |
void SetPen(const wxPen& pen)
