1 \section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
2
3 This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
4 from data, or using the constructor taking a wxBitmap object. 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.
8
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{ConvertToBitmap}{wximageconverttobitmap} function. This bitmap can then
12 be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
13
14 One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
15 creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.
16
17 \wxheading{Available image handlers}
18
19 The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
20 installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropiate
21 handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
22 \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

27 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxPNGHandler}}}{For loading and saving.}
28 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxJPEGHandler}}}{For loading and saving.}
29 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxGIFHandler}}}{Only for loading, due to legal issues.}

32 \twocolitem{{\bf \indexit{wxTIFFHandler}}}{For loading and saving.}
33 \end{twocollist}
34
35 When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
36 different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
37 save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
38
39 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
40 PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

147 \membersection{wxImage::AddHandler}\label{wximageaddhandler}
148

150
151 Adds a handler to the end of the static list of format handlers.

169 \membersection{wxImage::ConvertToBitmap}\label{wximageconverttobitmap}
170
171 \constfunc{wxBitmap}{ConvertToBitmap}{\void}
172
173 Converts the image to a platform-specific bitmap object. This has to be done
174 to actually display an image as you cannot draw an image directly on a window.
175 The resulting bitmap will use the colour depth of the current system which entails
176 that a colour reduction has to take place.
177
178 When in 8-bit mode (PseudoColour mode), the GTK port will use a color cube created
179 on program start-up to look up colors. This ensures a very fast conversion, but
180 the image quality won't be perfect (and could be better for photo images using more
181 sophisticated dithering algorithms).

512
513 Rotates the image about the given point, by {\it angle} radians. Passing TRUE
514 to {\it interpolating} results in better image quality, but is slower. If the
515 image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered pixels in the
516 rotated image background. Else, black (rgb 0, 0, 0) will be used.

520 \membersection{wxImage::Scale}\label{wximagescale}
521
522 \constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
523
524 Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for
525 scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps
526 is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
527
528 It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally
529 to scale bitmaps when using mapping mode in wxDC.
530
531 Example:
532
533 \begin{verbatim}
534 // get the bitmap from somewhere
535 wxBitmap bmp = ...;
536
537 // rescale it to have size of 32*32
538 if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
539 {
540 wxImage image(bmp);
541 bmp = image.Scale(32, 32).ConvertToBitmap();
542
543 // another possibility:
544 image.Rescale(32, 32);
545 bmp = image;

569
570 \func{void}{SetMaskColour}{\param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}, \param{unsigned char }{green}}
571
572 Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).
573
574 \membersection{wxImage::SetRGB}\label{wximagesetrgb}
575
576 \func{void}{SetRGB}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}, \param{unsigned char }{green}}
577
578 Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
579 for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
580 data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to
581 be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data
582 using the \helpref{GetData}{wximagegetdata} method.
583
584 \membersection{wxImage::operator $=$}
585
586 \func{wxImage\& }{operator $=$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}
587
588 Assignment operator. This operator does not copy any data, but instead
589 passes a pointer to the data in {\it image} and increments a reference
590 counter. It is a fast operation.
591
592 \wxheading{Parameters}
593
594 \docparam{image}{Image to assign.}
595
596 \wxheading{Return value}
597
598 Returns 'this' object.
599
600 \membersection{wxImage::operator $==$}
601
602 \func{bool}{operator $==$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}
603
604 Equality operator. This operator tests whether the internal data pointers are
605 equal (a fast test).
606
607 \wxheading{Parameters}
608
609 \docparam{image}{Image to compare with 'this'}
610
611 \wxheading{Return value}
612
613 Returns TRUE if the images were effectively equal, FALSE otherwise.
614
615 \membersection{wxImage::operator $!=$}
616
617 \func{bool}{operator $!=$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}
618
619 Inequality operator. This operator tests whether the internal data pointers are
620 unequal (a fast test).
621
622 \wxheading{Parameters}
623
624 \docparam{image}{Image to compare with 'this'}
625
626 \wxheading{Return value}
627
628 Returns TRUE if the images were unequal, FALSE otherwise.
629
630 \section{\class{wxImageHandler}}\label{wximagehandler}
631
632 This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
633 It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
634
635 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler
636 and add the handler using \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} in your
637 application initialisation.

689
690 If the image file contains more than one image and the image handler is capable
691 of retrieving these individually, this function will return the number of
692 available images.
693
694 \docparam{stream}{Opened input stream for reading image data. Currently, the stream must support seeking.}
695
696 \wxheading{Return value}
