  19
  20     An icon is a small rectangular bitmap usually used for denoting a minimized
  21     application.
  22
  23     It differs from a wxBitmap in always having a mask associated with it for
  24     transparent drawing. On some platforms, icons and bitmaps are implemented
  25     identically, since there is no real distinction between a wxBitmap with a
  26     mask and an icon; and there is no specific icon format on some platforms
  27     (X-based applications usually standardize on XPMs for small bitmaps and icons).
  28     However, some platforms (such as Windows) make the distinction, so a
  29     separate class is provided.
  30
  31     @remarks
  32     It is usually desirable to associate a pertinent icon with a frame.
  33     Icons can also be used for other purposes, for example with wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl.
  34     Icons have different formats on different platforms therefore separate icons
  35     will usually be created for the different environments.
  36     Platform-specific methods for creating a wxIcon structure are catered for,
  37     and this is an occasion where conditional compilation will probably be required.
  38     Note that a new icon must be created for every time the icon is to be used
  39     for a new window. In Windows, the icon will not be reloaded if it has already
  40     been used.
  41     An icon allocated to a frame will be deleted when the frame is deleted.
  42     For more information please see @ref overview_bitmap.

  84         For other bit depths, the behaviour is platform dependent: under Windows,
  85         the data is passed without any changes to the underlying CreateBitmap() API.
  86         Under other platforms, only monochrome bitmaps may be created using this
  87         constructor and wxImage should be used for creating colour bitmaps from
