 303     @class wxImage
 304
 305     This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.
 306
 307     An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage.
 308     An image can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible
 309     to new formats via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and
 310     get image bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.
 311
 312     A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC.
 313     Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using
 314     the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor.
 315     This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.
 316
 317     One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to
 318     the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.
 319
 320
 321     @section image_alpha Alpha channel support
 322
 323     Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is
 324     in addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each
 325     pixel it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity.
 326
 327     An alpha value of 0 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while
 328     a value of 255 means that the pixel is 100% opaque.
 329     The constants ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT and ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_OPAQUE can be
 330     used to indicate those values in a more readable form.
 331
 332     While all images have RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel. Before
 333     using wxImage::GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha
 334     channel with wxImage::HasAlpha. Currently the BMP, PNG, and TIFF format
 335     handlers have full alpha channel support for loading so if you want to use
 336     alpha you have to use one of these formats. If you initialize the image
 337     alpha channel yourself using wxImage::SetAlpha, you should save it in
 338     either PNG or TGA format to avoid losing it as these are the only handlers
 339     that currently support saving with alpha.
 340
 341
 342     @section image_handlers Available image handlers
 343
 344     The following image handlers are available.
 345     wxBMPHandler is always installed by default.
 346     To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with
 347     wxImage::AddHandler or call ::wxInitAllImageHandlers().
 348
 349     - wxBMPHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving, always installed.
 350     - wxPNGHandler: For loading and saving. Includes alpha support.
 351     - wxJPEGHandler: For loading and saving.
 352     - wxGIFHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
 353     - wxPCXHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
 354     - wxPNMHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
 355     - wxTIFFHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
 356     - wxTGAHandler: For loading and saving. Includes alpha support.
 357     - wxIFFHandler: For loading only.
 358     - wxXPMHandler: For loading and saving.
 359     - wxICOHandler: For loading and saving.
 360     - wxCURHandler: For loading and saving.
 361     - wxANIHandler: For loading only.
 362
 363     When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler will count the number of different
 364     colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will save as 8 bit,
 365     else it will save as 24 bit.
 366
 367     Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images.
 368     When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.
 369
 370     Saving GIFs requires images of maximum 8 bpp (see wxQuantize), and the alpha channel converted to a mask (see wxImage::ConvertAlphaToMask).
 371     Saving an animated GIF requires images of the same size (see wxGIFHandler::SaveAnimation)

 782         This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way
 783         to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
 784
 785         The parameter @a quality determines what method to use for resampling
 786         the image, see wxImageResizeQuality documentation.
 787
 788         It should be noted that although using @c wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH produces much nicer
 789         looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging
 790         method which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
 791         this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme
 792         cases it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a
 793         lot of data.
 794
 795         It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
 796         when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
 797         image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
 798         will work.
 799
 800         Example:
 801         @code
 802         // get the bitmap from somewhere
 803         wxBitmap bmp = ...;
 804
 805         // rescale it to have size of 32*32

 807         {
 808             wxImage image = bmp.ConvertToImage();
 809             bmp = wxBitmap(image.Scale(32, 32));
 810
 811             // another possibility:
 812             image.Rescale(32, 32);

1096
1097         Generic options:
1098         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH and @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT: If either
1099             of these options is specified, the loaded image will be scaled down
1100             (preserving its aspect ratio) so that its width is less than the
1101             max width given if it is not 0 @em and its height is less than the
1102             max height given if it is not 0. This is typically used for loading
1103             thumbnails and the advantage of using these options compared to
1104             calling Rescale() after loading is that some handlers (only JPEG
1105             one right now) support rescaling the image during loading which is
1106             vastly more efficient than loading the entire huge image and
1107             rescaling it later (if these options are not supported by the
1108             handler, this is still what happens however). These options must be
1109             set before calling LoadFile() to have any effect.
1110
1111         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_QUALITY: JPEG quality used when saving. This is an
1112             integer in 0..100 range with 0 meaning very poor and 100 excellent
1113             (but very badly compressed). This option is currently ignored for
1114             the other formats.
1115
1116         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT: The value of this option determines
1117             whether the resolution of the image is specified in centimetres or
1118             inches, see wxImageResolution enum elements.
1119
1120         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTION, @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONX and
1121             @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONY: These options define the resolution of
1122             the image in the units corresponding to @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT
1123             options value. The first option can be set before saving the image
1124             to set both horizontal and vertical resolution to the same value.
1125             The X and Y options are set by the image handlers if they support
1126             the image resolution (currently BMP, JPEG and TIFF handlers do) and
1127             the image provides the resolution information and can be queried
1128             after loading the image.
1129
1130         Options specific to wxPNGHandler:
1131         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FORMAT: Format for saving a PNG file, see
1132             wxImagePNGType for the supported values.
1133         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_BITDEPTH: Bit depth for every channel (R/G/B/A).
1134         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER: Filter for saving a PNG file, see libpng
1135             (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-1.2.5-manual.html) for possible values
1136             (e.g. PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, PNG_FILTER_UP, etc).
1137         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: Compression level (0..9) for
1138             saving a PNG file. An high value creates smaller-but-slower PNG file.
1139             Note that unlike other formats (e.g. JPEG) the PNG format is always
1140             lossless and thus this compression level doesn't tradeoff the image
1141             quality.
1142         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_MEM_LEVEL: Compression memory usage
1143             level (1..9) for saving a PNG file. An high value means the saving
1144             process consumes more memory, but may create smaller PNG file.
1145         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_STRATEGY: Possible values are 0 for
1146             default strategy, 1 for filter, and 2 for Huffman-only.
1147             You can use OptiPNG (http://optipng.sourceforge.net/) to get a suitable
1148             value for your application.
1149         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_BUFFER_SIZE: Internal buffer size
1150             (in bytes) for saving a PNG file. Ideally this should be as big as
1151             the resulting PNG file. Use this option if your application produces
1152             images with small size variation.
1153
1154         Options specific to wxGIFHandler:
1155         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_GIF_COMMENT: The comment text that is read from
1156             or written to the GIF file. In an animated GIF each frame can have
1157             its own comment. If there is only a comment in the first frame of
1158             a GIF it will not be repeated in other frames.
1159
1160         @param name
1161             The name of the option, case-insensitive.
1162         @return
1163             The value of the option or 0 if not found.

1724         number of available images.
1725
1726         For the overload taking the parameter @a filename, that's the name
1727         of the file to query.
1728         For the overload taking the parameter @a stream, that's the opened input
1729         stream with image data.
1730
1731         See wxImageHandler::GetImageCount() for more info.

1733         The parameter @a type may be one of the following values:
1734         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP: Load a Windows bitmap file.
1735         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF: Load a GIF bitmap file.
1736         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG: Load a JPEG bitmap file.
1737         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG: Load a PNG bitmap file.
1738         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_PCX: Load a PCX bitmap file.
1739         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNM: Load a PNM bitmap file.
1740         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_TIF: Load a TIFF bitmap file.
1741         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_TGA: Load a TGA bitmap file.
1742         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM: Load a XPM bitmap file.
1743         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO: Load a Windows icon file (ICO).
1744         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR: Load a Windows cursor file (CUR).
1745         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI: Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI).
1746         @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY: Will try to autodetect the format.
1747
1748         @return Number of available images. For most image handlers, this is 1
1749                 (exceptions are TIFF and ICO formats as well as animated GIFs
1750                 for which this function returns the number of frames in the
