I’m trying to put together a quick test of buffered animation with
WxRuby, but I’m encountering a fair amount of trouble… I’m drawing
to a Wx::Bitmap first, then using Wx::DC#draw_bitmap to copy it to a
Wx::Window. But I get the following error:
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.1-i386-mswin32/lib/wx/
classes/bitmap.rb:18:in draw': uninitialized constant Wxruby2::Bitmap::MemoryDC (NameError) from dc_draw_line.rb:30:inon_init’
…
Is MemoryDC not implemented yet in WxRuby 1.9.1? It’s in the
documentation, but I know large chunks of that are auto-generated, so
I don’t totally trust it. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, though?
My code is below. Any advice would be most appreciated!
