159 @class wxBitmap
160
161 This class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent bitmap,
162 either monochrome or colour or colour with alpha channel support.
163
164 If you need direct access the bitmap data instead going through
165 drawing to it using wxMemoryDC you need to use the wxPixelData
166 class (either wxNativePixelData for RGB bitmaps or wxAlphaPixelData
167 for bitmaps with an additionally alpha channel).
168
169 Note that many wxBitmap functions take a @e type parameter, which is a
170 value of the ::wxBitmapType enumeration.
171 The validity of those values depends however on the platform where your program
172 is running and from the wxWidgets configuration.
173 If all possible wxWidgets settings are used:
174 - wxMSW supports BMP and ICO files, BMP and ICO resources;
175 - wxGTK supports XPM files;
176 - wxMac supports PICT resources;
177 - wxX11 supports XPM files, XPM data, XBM data;
178
179 In addition, wxBitmap can load and save all formats that wxImage can; see wxImage
180 for more info. Of course, you must have loaded the wxImage handlers
181 (see ::wxInitAllImageHandlers() and wxImage::AddHandler).
182 Note that all available wxBitmapHandlers for a given wxWidgets port are
183 automatically loaded at startup so you won't need to use wxBitmap::AddHandler.
184
185 More on the difference between wxImage and wxBitmap: wxImage is just a
186 buffer of RGB bytes with an optional buffer for the alpha bytes. It is all
187 generic, platform independent and image file format independent code. It
188 includes generic code for scaling, resizing, clipping, and other manipulations
189 of the image data. OTOH, wxBitmap is intended to be a wrapper of whatever is
190 the native image format that is quickest/easiest to draw to a DC or to be the
191 target of the drawing operations performed on a wxMemoryDC. By splitting the
192 responsibilities between wxImage/wxBitmap like this then it's easier to use
193 generic code shared by all platforms and image types for generic operations and
194 platform specific code where performance or compatibility is needed.
