155 @class wxBitmap
156
157 This class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent bitmap,
158 either monochrome or colour or colour with alpha channel support.
159
160 If you need direct access the bitmap data instead going through
161 drawing to it using wxMemoryDC you need to use the wxPixelData
162 class (either wxNativePixelData for RGB bitmaps or wxAlphaPixelData
163 for bitmaps with an additionaly alpha channel).
164
165 @note
166 Many wxBitmap functions take a @e type parameter, which is a value of the
167 ::wxBitmapType enumeration.
168 The validity of those values depends however on the platform where your program
169 is running and from the wxWidgets configuration.
170 If all possible wxWidgets settings are used, the Windows platform supports BMP file,
171 BMP resource, XPM data, and XPM.
172 Under wxGTK, the available formats are BMP file, XPM data, XPM file, and PNG file.
173 Under wxMotif, the available formats are XBM data, XBM file, XPM data, XPM file.
174 In addition, wxBitmap can load and save all formats that wxImage; see wxImage for
175 more info. Of course, you must have wxImage handlers loaded.
