}}\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{Available image handlers
}
20 The following image handlers are available.
{\bf wxBMPHandler
} is always
21 installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
22 handler with
\helpref{wxImage::AddHandler
}{wximageaddhandler
} or
23 \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers
}{wxinitallimagehandlers
}.
27 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxBMPHandler
}}{For loading and saving, always installed.
}
28 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNGHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
29 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxJPEGHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
30 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxGIFHandler
}}{Only for loading, due to legal issues.
}
31 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPCXHandler
}}{For loading and saving (see below).
}
32 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNMHandler
}}{For loading and saving (see below).
}
33 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxTIFFHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
34 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxIFFHandler
}}{For loading only.
}
35 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxXPMHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
36 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxICOHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
37 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxCURHandler
}}{For loading and saving.
}
38 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxANIHandler
}}{For loading only.
}
41 When saving in PCX format,
{\bf wxPCXHandler
} will count the number of
42 different colours in the image; if there are
256 or less colours, it will
43 save as
8 bit, else it will save as
24 bit.
45 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
46 PNM format,
{\bf wxPNMHandler
} will always save as raw RGB.

845 Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of
{\it mr,mg,mb

846 in
{\it mask

847 unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then
848 using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel
849 in
{\it mask

851 \wxheading{Return value

853 Returns FALSE if
{\it mask

854 there is no unused colour left. Returns TRUE if the mask was successfully

891 for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
