/**
    @class wxIcon

    An icon is a small rectangular bitmap usually used for denoting a minimized
    application.

    It differs from a wxBitmap in always having a mask associated with it for
    transparent drawing. On some platforms, icons and bitmaps are implemented
    identically, since there is no real distinction between a wxBitmap with a
    mask and an icon; and there is no specific icon format on some platforms
    (X-based applications usually standardize on XPMs for small bitmaps and icons).
    However, some platforms (such as Windows) make the distinction, so a
    separate class is provided.

    @remarks
    It is usually desirable to associate a pertinent icon with a frame.
    Icons can also be used for other purposes, for example with wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl.
    Icons have different formats on different platforms therefore separate icons
    will usually be created for the different environments.
    Platform-specific methods for creating a wxIcon structure are catered for,
    and this is an occasion where conditional compilation will probably be required.
    Note that a new icon must be created for every time the icon is to be used
    for a new window. In Windows, the icon will not be reloaded if it has already
    been used.
    An icon allocated to a frame will be deleted when the frame is deleted.
    For more information please see @ref overview_bitmap.

    /**
        Creates an icon from an array of bits.
        You should only use this function for monochrome bitmaps (depth 1) in
        portable programs: in this case the bits parameter should contain an XBM image.

        For other bit depths, the behaviour is platform dependent: under Windows,
        the data is passed without any changes to the underlying CreateBitmap() API.
        Under other platforms, only monochrome bitmaps may be created using this
        constructor and wxImage should be used for creating colour bitmaps from
        static data.

        @param bits
            Specifies an array of pixel values.
        @param width
            The width of the image.
        @param height
            The height of the image.

        Creates a bitmap from XPM data.
        To use this constructor, you must first include an XPM file.
        For example, assuming that the file mybitmap.xpm contains an XPM array
        of character pointers called @e mybitmap:

        @code
        #include "mybitmap.xpm"
