    @class wxImageList

    A wxImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in an unspecified
    form. Images can have masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a
    variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

    wxImageList is used principally in conjunction with wxTreeCtrl and
    wxListCtrl classes.
