frame = Frame(None, title="wxPython Mapnik Demo By Victor Lin")
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
```
The key point of this program is this:
#!python
```python
# create a Image32 object
image = mapnik.Image(self.width, self.height)
# render map to Image32 object
mapnik.render(self.map, image)
# load raw data from Image32 to bitmap
self.bmp = wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA(self.width, self.height, image.tostring())
```
We create an Image32 object, and render map on to that image, then load raw data of image into wxPython's Bitmap object. That's it! Now you can use your memory dc to do whatever you like
#!python
```python
memoryDC = wx.MemoryDC(self.bmp)
# draw map to dc
dc.Blit(0, 0, self.width, self.height, memoryDC, 0, 0)
```
