3This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
b06a6b20 4from data, or using \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}. An image
1e6d9499
JS
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.

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
f510b7b2 11the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapctor} constructor.
b06a6b20 12This bitmap can then
7468b994
RR
13be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
14
15One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
16creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.

18\wxheading{Alpha channel support}
19
fc2171bd 20Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in
487659e0 21addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel
e0cb07e3
DS
22it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. An alpha value of $0$
23corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of $255$
487659e0
VZ
24means that the pixel is 100\% opaque.
25
e0cb07e3 26Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using
487659e0 27\helpref{GetAlpha}{wximagegetalpha} you should check if this image contains
e0cb07e3
DS
28an alpha channel with \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha}. Note that currently only
29images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have an alpha
30channel but alpha support will be added to the other formats as well (as well
31as support for saving images with alpha channel which also isn't implemented).

56When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
57different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
58save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
59
60Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
61PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

875Rotates the image about the given point, by {\it angle} radians. Passing true
876to {\it interpolating} results in better image quality, but is slower. If the
877image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered pixels in the
