12\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
13
14This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
b06a6b20 15from data, or using \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}. An image
1e6d9499
JS
16can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
17via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
18it can be used for basic image manipulation.
19
ce045aed 20A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a \helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instead,
7468b994 21a platform-specific \helpref{wxBitmap}{wxbitmap} object must be created from it using
ce045aed 22the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapctor} constructor.
b06a6b20 23This bitmap can then
7468b994
RR
24be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
25
26One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
27creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.

29\wxheading{Alpha channel support}
30
fc2171bd 31Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in
487659e0 32addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel
e0cb07e3
DS
33it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. An alpha value of $0$
34corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of $255$
487659e0
VZ
35means that the pixel is 100\% opaque.
36
ce045aed 37Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using
487659e0 38\helpref{GetAlpha}{wximagegetalpha} you should check if this image contains
c3316efa
VZ
39an alpha channel with \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha}. Note that currently
40only the PNG format has full alpha channel support so only the images loaded
41from PNG files can have alpha and, if you initialize the image alpha channel
42yourself using \helpref{SetAlpha}{wximagesetalpha}, you should save it in PNG
43format to avoid losing it.

48The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
2edb0bde 49installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
3af706cc 50handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or call

70When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
71different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
72save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
73
74Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
75PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

1117
1118It should be noted that although using wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_HIGH produces much nicer

1120which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
1121this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme cases
e5d1e06d
RR
1122it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a lot of
1123data.
1124
1125It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
1126when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
1127image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
1128will work.

1279Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
1280for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
1281data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to
ce045aed 1282be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data

1313This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
1314It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
1315
1316If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler
1317and add the handler using \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} in your
1318application initialisation.
