23 wxBitmapHandler and add the handler using wxBitmap::AddHandler() in your
24 application initialisation.

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