Is this a new decision? I thought that wxDC is not that much interesting, because it uses deprecated functions and is problematic on some platforms.

I did an wxDC implementation, this was my last work on the GAL and then Orson continued it and he should know this implementation.

You can find the code here:

Funny that this is almost 4 years old :)

That could be helpful for Tom.

Thanks,
Torsten
