1 \section{\class{wxImage
}}\label{wximage
}
3 This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
4 from data, or using
\helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage
}{wxbitmapconverttoimage
}. An image
5 can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
6 via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
7 it can be used for basic image manipulation.
9 A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a
\helpref{wxDC
}{wxdc
}. Instead,
10 a platform-specific
\helpref{wxBitmap
}{wxbitmap
} object must be created from it using
11 the
\helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)
}{wxbitmapconstr
} constructor.
13 be drawn in a device context, using
\helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap
}{wxdcdrawbitmap
}.
15 One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
16 creation of a
\helpref{wxMask
}{wxmask
} object associated to the bitmap object.
18 \wxheading{Alpha channel support
}
20 Starting from wxWidgets
2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in
21 addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel
22 it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. The alpha value of $
0$
23 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while the value of $
255$
24 means that the pixel is
100\% opaque.
26 Unlike the RGB data, not all images have the alpha channel and before using
27 \helpref{GetAlpha
}{wximagegetalpha
} you should check if this image contains
28 alpha value with
\helpref{HasAlpha
}{wximagehasalpha
}. In fact, currently only
29 images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have alpha
30 channel but support for it will be added to the other formats as well (as well
31 as support for saving images with alpha channel which is not still implemented
34 \wxheading{Available image handlers
}
36 The following image handlers are available.
{\bf wxBMPHandler
} is always
37 installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
38 handler with
\helpref{wxImage::AddHandler
}{wximageaddhandler
} or
39 \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers
}{wxinitallimagehandlers
}.
43 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxBMPHandler
}}{For loading and saving, always installed.
}
44 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNGHandler
}}{For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
}
45 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxJPEGHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
46 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxGIFHandler
}}{Only for loading, due to legal issues.
}
47 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPCXHandler
}}{For loading and saving (see below).
}
48 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNMHandler
}}{For loading and saving (see below).
}
49 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxTIFFHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
50 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxIFFHandler
}}{For loading only.
}
51 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxXPMHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
52 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxICOHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
53 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxCURHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
54 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxANIHandler
}}{For loading only.
}
57 When saving in PCX format,
{\bf wxPCXHandler
} will count the number of
58 different colours in the image; if there are
256 or less colours, it will
59 save as
8 bit, else it will save as
24 bit.
61 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
62 PNM format,
{\bf wxPNMHandler
} will always save as raw RGB.

415 Returns pointer to the array storing the alpha values for this image. This
416 pointer is {\tt NULL} for the images without the alpha channel. If the image
417 does have it, this pointer may be used to directly manipulate the alpha values
418 which are stored as the \helpref{RGB}{wximagegetdata} ones.

428 \constfunc{unsigned char*}{GetData}{\void}
430 Returns the image data as an array. This is most often used when doing
431 direct image manipulation. The return value points to an array of
432 characters in RGBRGBRGB$\ldots$ format in the top-to-bottom, left-to-right
433 order, that is the first RGB triplet corresponds to the pixel first pixel of
434 the first row, the second one --- to the second pixel of the first row and so

773 Rotates the image about the given point, by {\it angle} radians. Passing true
774 to {\it interpolating} results in better image quality, but is slower. If the

797 Saves an image in the named file. File type is determined from the extension of the

904 \func{void}{SetAlpha}{\param{unsigned char *}{alpha = {\tt NULL}}}
906 This function is similar to \helpref{SetData}{wximagesetdata} and has similar
907 restrictions. The pointer passed to it may however be {\tt NULL} in which case
908 the function will allocate the alpha array internally -- this is useful to add
909 alpha channel data to an image which doesn't have any. If the pointer is not
910 {\tt NULL}, it must have one byte for each image pixel and be allocated with
911 {\tt malloc()}. wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it.
913 \func{void}{SetAlpha}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{alpha}}

925 method if you aren't sure you know what you are doing.
927 The data must have been allocated with {\tt malloc()}, {\large {\bf NOT}} with
930 After this call the pointer to the data is owned by the wxImage object,
931 that will be responsible for deleting it.

953 \docparam{mask}{The mask image to extract mask shape from. Must have same dimensions as the image.}
955 \docparam{mr,mg,mb}{RGB value of pixels in {\it mask} that will be used to create the mask.}
957 Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of {\it mr,mg,mb}
958 in {\it mask} will be masked in the image. This is done by first finding an
959 unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then
960 using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel
961 in {\it mask} has given RGB value.
963 \wxheading{Return value}
965 Returns false if {\it mask} does not have same dimensions as the image or if
966 there is no unused colour left. Returns true if the mask was successfully

1002 Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
1003 for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
1004 data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to
1005 be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data
1006 using the \helpref{GetData}{wximagegetdata} method.

1014 counter. It is a fast operation.

1056 This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
