  63
  64     This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and
  65     image creation from data.
  66     It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
  67
  68     If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from
  69     wxImageHandler and add the handler using wxImage::AddHandler in your
  70     application initialization.
  71
  72     Note that all wxImageHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of
  73     the @ref page_libs_wxcore library.
  74     For details about the default handlers, please see the section
  75     @ref image_handlers in the wxImage class documentation.

 272 /**
 273     @class wxImage
 274
 275     This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.
 276
 277     An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage.
 278     An image can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible
 279     to new formats via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and
 280     get image bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.
 281
 282     A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC.
 283     Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using
 284     the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor.
 285     This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.
 286
 287     One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to
 288     the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.
 289
 290
 291     @section image_alpha Alpha channel support
 292
 293     Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is
 294     in addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each
 295     pixel it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity.
 296
 297     An alpha value of 0 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while
 298     a value of 255 means that the pixel is 100% opaque.
 299     The constants ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT and ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_OPAQUE can be
 300     used to indicate those values in a more readable form.
 301
 302     While all images have RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel. Before
 303     using wxImage::GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha
 304     channel with wxImage::HasAlpha. Note that currently only the PNG format has
 305     full alpha channel support so only the images loaded from PNG files can have
 306     alpha and, if you initialize the image alpha channel yourself using
 307     wxImage::SetAlpha, you should save it in PNG format to avoid losing it.
 308
 309
 310     @section image_handlers Available image handlers
 311
 312     The following image handlers are available.
 313     wxBMPHandler is always installed by default.
 314     To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with
 315     wxImage::AddHandler or call ::wxInitAllImageHandlers().
 316
 317     - wxBMPHandler: For loading and saving, always installed.
 318     - wxPNGHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
 319     - wxJPEGHandler: For loading and saving.
 320     - wxGIFHandler: Only for loading, due to legal issues.
 321     - wxPCXHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
 322     - wxPNMHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
 323     - wxTIFFHandler: For loading and saving.
 324     - wxTGAHandler: For loading only.
 325     - wxIFFHandler: For loading only.
 326     - wxXPMHandler: For loading and saving.
 327     - wxICOHandler: For loading and saving.
 328     - wxCURHandler: For loading and saving.
 329     - wxANIHandler: For loading only.
 330
 331     When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler will count the number of different
 332     colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will save as 8 bit,
 333     else it will save as 24 bit.
 334
 335     Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images.
 336     When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.

 741         This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way
 742         to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
 743
 744         The parameter @a quality determines what method to use for resampling
 745         the image, see wxImageResizeQuality documentation.
 746
 747         It should be noted that although using @c wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH produces much nicer
 748         looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging
 749         method which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
 750         this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme
 751         cases it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a
 752         lot of data.
 753
 754         It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
 755         when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
 756         image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
 757         will work.
 758
 759         Example:
 760         @code
 761         // get the bitmap from somewhere
 762         wxBitmap bmp = ...;
 763
 764         // rescale it to have size of 32*32

 768             bmp = wxBitmap(image.Scale(32, 32));
 769
 770             // another possibility:
 771             image.Rescale(32, 32);
 772             bmp = image;

1053         Use HasOption() is 0 is a possibly valid value for the option.
1054
1055         Generic options:
1056         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH and @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT: If either
1057             of these options is specified, the loaded image will be scaled down
1058             (preserving its aspect ratio) so that its width is less than the
1059             max width given if it is not 0 @em and its height is less than the
1060             max height given if it is not 0. This is typically used for loading
1061             thumbnails and the advantage of using these options compared to
1062             calling Rescale() after loading is that some handlers (only JPEG
1063             one right now) support rescaling the image during loading which is
1064             vastly more efficient than loading the entire huge image and
1065             rescaling it later (if these options are not supported by the
1066             handler, this is still what happens however). These options must be
1067             set before calling LoadFile() to have any effect.
1068
1069         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_QUALITY: JPEG quality used when saving. This is an
1070             integer in 0..100 range with 0 meaning very poor and 100 excellent
1071             (but very badly compressed). This option is currently ignored for
1072             the other formats.
1073
1074         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT: The value of this option determines
1075             whether the resolution of the image is specified in centimetres or
1076             inches, see wxImageResolution enum elements.
1077
1078         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTION, @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONX and
1079             @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONY: These options define the resolution of
1080             the image in the units corresponding to @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT
1081             options value. The first option can be set before saving the image
1082             to set both horizontal and vertical resolution to the same value.
1083             The X and Y options are set by the image handlers if they support
1084             the image resolution (currently BMP, JPEG and TIFF handlers do) and
1085             the image provides the resolution information and can be queried
1086             after loading the image.
1087
1088         Options specific to wxPNGHandler:
1089         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FORMAT: Format for saving a PNG file, see
1090             wxImagePNGType for the supported values.
1091         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_BITDEPTH: Bit depth for every channel (R/G/B/A).
1092         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER: Filter for saving a PNG file, see libpng
1093             (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-1.2.5-manual.html) for possible values
1094             (e.g. PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, PNG_FILTER_UP, etc).
1095         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: Compression level (0..9) for
1096             saving a PNG file. An high value creates smaller-but-slower PNG file.
1097             Note that unlike other formats (e.g. JPEG) the PNG format is always
1098             lossless and thus this compression level doesn't tradeoff the image
1099             quality.
1100         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_MEM_LEVEL: Compression memory usage
1101             level (1..9) for saving a PNG file. An high value means the saving
1102             process consumes more memory, but may create smaller PNG file.
1103         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_STRATEGY: Possible values are 0 for
1104             default strategy, 1 for filter, and 2 for Huffman-only.
1105             You can use OptiPNG (http://optipng.sourceforge.net/) to get a suitable
1106             value for your application.
1107         @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_BUFFER_SIZE: Internal buffer size
1108             (in bytes) for saving a PNG file. Ideally this should be as big as
1109             the resulting PNG file. Use this option if your application produces
1110             images with small size variation.
1111
1112         @param name
1113             The name of the option, case-insensitive.
1114         @return
