/**
    @class wxArtProvider

    wxArtProvider class is used to customize the look of wxWidgets application.

    When wxWidgets needs to display an icon or a bitmap (e.g. in the standard file
    dialog), it does not use a hard-coded resource but asks wxArtProvider for it
    instead. This way users can plug in their own wxArtProvider class and easily
    replace standard art with their own version.

    All that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its
    wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap() and/or its wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle() methods
    and register the provider with wxArtProvider::Push():

    @code
      class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider
      {
      protected:
        wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id,
                              const wxArtClient& client,
                              const wxSize size)

        // optionally override this one as well
        wxIconBundle CreateIconBundle(const wxArtID& id,
                                      const wxArtClient& client)
        { ... }
      };
      ...
      wxArtProvider::Push(new MyProvider);
    @endcode

    If you need bitmap images (of the same artwork) that should be displayed at
    different sizes you should probably consider overriding wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle
    and supplying icon bundles that contain different bitmap sizes.

    There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your
    code and use platform native icons as provided by wxArtProvider::GetBitmap or
    wxArtProvider::GetIcon.

    @section artprovider_identify Identifying art resources

    Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that
    is used when requesting a resource from it. The ID is represented by the ::wxArtID type
    and can have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these
    constants in the @ref page_samples_artprov):

    <table>
    <tr><td>
     @li @c wxART_ERROR
     @li @c wxART_QUESTION
     @li @c wxART_WARNING
     @li @c wxART_INFORMATION
     @li @c wxART_ADD_BOOKMARK
     @li @c wxART_DEL_BOOKMARK

     @li @c wxART_GO_FORWARD
     @li @c wxART_GO_UP
     @li @c wxART_GO_DOWN
     @li @c wxART_GO_TO_PARENT
     @li @c wxART_GO_HOME
     @li @c wxART_GOTO_FIRST (since 2.9.2)
     </td><td>
     @li @c wxART_GOTO_LAST (since 2.9.2)

     @li @c wxART_NORMAL_FILE
     @li @c wxART_TICK_MARK
     @li @c wxART_CROSS_MARK
     @li @c wxART_MISSING_IMAGE
     @li @c wxART_NEW
     @li @c wxART_FILE_OPEN
     @li @c wxART_FILE_SAVE
     </td><td>
     @li @c wxART_FILE_SAVE_AS
     @li @c wxART_DELETE
     @li @c wxART_COPY
     @li @c wxART_CUT
     @li @c wxART_PASTE
     @li @c wxART_UNDO
     @li @c wxART_REDO
     @li @c wxART_PLUS (since 2.9.2)
     @li @c wxART_MINUS (since 2.9.2)
     @li @c wxART_CLOSE
     @li @c wxART_QUIT
     @li @c wxART_FIND
     @li @c wxART_FIND_AND_REPLACE
     @li @c wxART_HARDDISK
     @li @c wxART_FLOPPY
     @li @c wxART_CDROM
     @li @c wxART_REMOVABLE
    </td></tr>
    </table>

    Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using
    wxArtProvider::Push may be used.

    @note
    When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. @c "gtk-cdrom") may be used
    as well:
    @code
    #ifdef __WXGTK__
        wxBitmap bmp = wxArtProvider::GetBitmap("gtk-cdrom", wxART_MENU);
    #endif
    @endcode
    For a list of the GTK+ stock items please refer to the
    <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Stock-Items.html">GTK+ documentation
    page</a>.
    It is also possible to load icons from the current icon theme by specifying their name 
    (without extension and directory components).
    Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org
    <a href="http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec">Icon Themes specification</a>.
    Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all icons, so wxArtProvider may
    return ::wxNullBitmap or ::wxNullIcon.
    The default theme is typically installed in @c /usr/share/icons/hicolor.


    @section artprovider_clients Clients

    The @e client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap() or GetIcon() function.
    It is represented by wxClientID type and can have one of these values:

    @li @c wxART_TOOLBAR
    @li @c wxART_MENU
    @li @c wxART_BUTTON
    @li @c wxART_FRAME_ICON
    @li @c wxART_CMN_DIALOG
    @li @c wxART_HELP_BROWSER
    @li @c wxART_MESSAGE_BOX
    @li @c wxART_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the
        categories above)

    Client ID serve as a hint to wxArtProvider that is supposed to help it to
    choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use
    slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent
    the same action (e.g. wxART_FILE_OPEN). Remember that this is really only a
    hint for wxArtProvider -- it is common that wxArtProvider::GetBitmap returns
    identical bitmap for different client values!
