Some refinements follow. Jean-Pierre pushed wxGCDC twoliner to tree, so
there it hangs. Anyway, it seems impossible to make fractional pixel
lines by wxDC, so that's not too useful for future use IMO. Aren't you
Wayne working on new zoom support? If so, could you possibly consider
options that wxGC would give? The would be all necessary transforms
already implemented and would save from forcing raster api to do
vectors. My guess the whole would simpify somewhat too as there is free
pdf-export and printing and all done with same functions.
