       event handler function under Windows and automatically under GTK.
      
      .. note:: Setting the background colour does not cause an immediate refresh, so
       you may wish to call :meth:`wx.Window.ClearBackground` or :meth:`wx.Window.Refresh` after

      :param `numBands`: number of bands to display (either vertical or horizontal);
