18 This is the base class for implementing bitmap file loading/saving, and

20 It is used within wxBitmap and is not normally seen by the application.
21
22 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxBitmap, derive a class from
23 wxBitmapHandler and add the handler using wxBitmap::AddHandler() in your
24 application initialization.
25
26 Note that all wxBitmapHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of the
27 @ref page_libs_wxcore library.
28 For details about the default handlers, please see the note in the

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 additionaly 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.
