/**
    @class wxImage
    @wxheader{image.h}

    This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
    from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage. An image
    can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new
    formats
    via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
    it can be used for basic image manipulation.

    A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC. Instead,
    a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using
    the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor.
    This bitmap can then
    be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.

    One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to
    the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.

        is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
        It should be noted that although using wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH produces much nicer
        looking results it is a slower method.  Downsampling will use the box averaging
        method
        which seems to operate very fast.  If you are upsampling larger images using
        this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme
        cases
        it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a
        lot of
        data.
        It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
        when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
        image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
        will work.

            wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL: Uses the normal default scaling method of
                pixel replication
            wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH: Uses bicubic and box averaging resampling
