1\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
2
3This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
4from data, or using the constructor taking a wxBitmap object. An image
5can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
6via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
7it can be used for basic image manipulation.

RR
9A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a \helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instead,
10a platform-specific \helpref{wxBitmap}{wxbitmap} object must be created from it using
11the \helpref{ConvertToBitmap}{wximageconverttobitmap} function. This bitmap can then
12be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
13
14One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
15creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.

19The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
20installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropiate
21handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
22\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

34
35When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
36different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
37save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
38
39Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
40PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

RR
173Converts the image to a platform-specific bitmap object. This has to be done
174to actually display an image as you cannot draw an image directly on a window.
175The resulting bitmap will use the colour depth of the current system which entails
7468b994
RR
176that a colour reduction has to take place.
177
178When in 8-bit mode (PseudoColour mode), the GTK port will use a color cube created
179on program start-up to look up colors. This ensures a very fast conversion, but
180the image quality won't be perfect (and could be better for photo images using more

630This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
631It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.

633If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler
634and add the handler using \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} in your
635application initialisation.
