  34
  35 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\void}
  36
  37 Default constructor.
  38
  39 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap}}
  40
  41 Copy constructor.
  42
  43 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{void*}{ data}, \param{int}{ type}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
  44
  45 Creates a bitmap from the given data, which can be of arbitrary type.
  46 Windows only, I think.
  47
  48 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const char}{ bits[]}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}\\
  49   \param{int}{ depth = 1}}
  50
  51 Creates a bitmap from an array of bits.
  52
  53 Note that the bit depth is ignored on GTK+ and Motif. If you want to create a bitmap
  54 from something else than a 1-bit data array, use the \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} class.
  55
  56 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
  57
  58 Creates a new bitmap. A depth of -1 indicates the depth of the current screen or
  59 visual. Some platforms only support 1 for monochrome and -1 for the current colour
  60 setting.
  61
  62 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const char**}{ bits}}
  63
  64 Creates a bitmap from XPM data.
  65
  66 \func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{long}{ type}}
  67
  68 Loads a bitmap from a file or resource.
  69
  70 \wxheading{Parameters}
  71
  72 \docparam{bits}{Specifies an array of pixel values.}
  73
  74 \docparam{width}{Specifies the width of the bitmap.}
  75
  76 \docparam{height}{Specifies the height of the bitmap.}
  77
  78 \docparam{depth}{Specifies the depth of the bitmap. If this is omitted, the display depth of the
  79 screen is used.}
  80
  81 \docparam{name}{This can refer to a resource name under MS Windows, or a filename under MS Windows and X.
  82 Its meaning is determined by the {\it type} parameter.}
  83
  84 \docparam{type}{May be one of the following:
  85
  86 \twocolwidtha{5cm}
  87 \begin{twocollist}
  88 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_BMP}}}{Load a Windows bitmap file.}
  89 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_BMP\_RESOURCE}}}{Load a Windows bitmap from the resource database.}
  90 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_GIF}}}{Load a GIF bitmap file.}
  91 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_XBM}}}{Load an X bitmap file.}
  92 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_XPM}}}{Load an XPM bitmap file.}
  93 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_RESOURCE}}}{Load a Windows resource name.}
  94 \end{twocollist}
  95
  96 The validity of these flags depends on the platform and wxWindows configuration.
  97 If all possible wxWindows settings are used, the Windows platform supports BMP file, BMP resource,
  98 XPM data, and XPM. Under wxGTK, the available formats are BMP file, XPM data, XPM file, and PNG file.
  99 Under wxMotif, the available formats are XBM data, XBM file, XPM data, XPM file.}

 101 \wxheading{Remarks}
 102
 103 The first form constructs a bitmap object with no data; an assignment or another member function such as Create
 104 or LoadFile must be called subsequently.
 105
 106 The second and third forms provide copy constructors. Note that these do not copy the
 107 bitmap data, but instead a pointer to the data, keeping a reference count. They are therefore
 108 very efficient operations.
 109
 110 The fourth form constructs a bitmap from data whose type and value depends on
 111 the value of the {\it type} argument.
 112
 113 The fifth form constructs a (usually monochrome) bitmap from an array of pixel values, under both
 114 X and Windows.
 115
 116 The sixth form constructs a new bitmap.
 117
 118 The seventh form constructs a bitmap from pixmap (XPM) data, if wxWindows has been configured
 119 to incorporate this feature.
 120
 121 To use this constructor, you must first include an XPM file. For
 122 example, assuming that the file {\tt mybitmap.xpm} contains an XPM array
 123 of character pointers called mybitmap:
 124
 125 \begin{verbatim}
 126 #include "mybitmap.xpm"
 127
 128 ...
 129
 130 wxBitmap *bitmap = new wxBitmap(mybitmap);
 131 \end{verbatim}
 132
 133 The eighth form constructs a bitmap from a file or resource. {\it name} can refer
 134 to a resource name under MS Windows, or a filename under MS Windows and X.
 135
 136 Under Windows, {\it type} defaults to wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_BMP\_RESOURCE.
 137 Under X, {\it type} defaults to wxBITMAP\_TYPE\_XPM.

 157
 158 \func{}{\destruct{wxBitmap}}{\void}
 159
 160 Destroys the wxBitmap object and possibly the underlying bitmap data.
 161 Because reference counting is used, the bitmap may not actually be
 162 destroyed at this point - only when the reference count is zero will the
 163 data be deleted.
 164
 165 If the application omits to delete the bitmap explicitly, the bitmap will be
 166 destroyed automatically by wxWindows when the application exits.
 167
 168 Do not delete a bitmap that is selected into a memory device context.

 193 \func{virtual bool}{Create}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
 194
 195 Creates a fresh bitmap. If the final argument is omitted, the display depth of
 196 the screen is used.
 197
 198 \func{virtual bool}{Create}{\param{void*}{ data}, \param{int}{ type}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
 199

 219 \wxheading{Remarks}

 560 This is the base class for implementing bitmap file loading/saving, and bitmap creation from data.
 561 It is used within wxBitmap and is not normally seen by the application.
 562
 563 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxBitmap, derive a class from wxBitmapHandler
 564 and add the handler using \helpref{wxBitmap::AddHandler}{wxbitmapaddhandler} in your
 565 application initialisation.
