    /// Graphics.Clear(Color) which is very popularily used for windows controls to clear the backgound. Instead you must use 
    /// Graphics.FillRectangle(backgroundbrush, bounds).
    /// Also note, that you should rarily use temporarily created classed, even within "using..." block. Otherwhise the garbage collector would
    /// have to cleanup on occasion and this would slow down performance and animations. However, for usage of derived structs like Point or Rectangle,
