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.

146
147 \membersection{wxImage::AddHandler}\label{wximageaddhandler}
148
149 \func{static void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxImageHandler*}{ handler}}
150
151 Adds a handler to the end of the static list of format handlers.

154 of a given handler class in an application session.}

161 \membersection{wxImage::CleanUpHandlers}
162
163 \func{static void}{CleanUpHandlers}{\void}

168
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.

518 \membersection{wxImage::Scale}\label{wximagescale}
519
520 \constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
521
522 Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for
523 scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps
524 is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
525
526 It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally
527 to scale bitmaps when using mapping mode in wxDC.
528
529 Example:
530
531 \begin{verbatim}
532 // get the bitmap from somewhere
533 wxBitmap bmp = ...;
534
535 // rescale it to have size of 32*32
536 if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
537 {
538 wxImage image(bmp);
539 bmp = image.Scale(32, 32).ConvertToBitmap();
540
541 // another possibility:
542 image.Rescale(32, 32);
543 bmp = image;

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

687
688 If the image file contains more than one image and the image handler is capable
689 of retrieving these individually, this function will return the number of
690 available images.
691
692 \docparam{stream}{Opened input stream for reading image data. Currently, the stream must support seeking.}
693
694 \wxheading{Return value}
