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