\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}

This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
from data, or using \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}. An image
can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
it can be used for basic image manipulation.

A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a \helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instead, 
a platform-specific \helpref{wxBitmap}{wxbitmap} object must be created from it using
the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapconstr} constructor. 
This bitmap can then
be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.

One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.

\wxheading{Available image handlers}

The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropiate
handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or 
\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
\begin{twocollist}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxBMPHandler}}{Only for loading, always installed.}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNGHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxJPEGHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxGIFHandler}}{Only for loading, due to legal issues.}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxPCXHandler}}{For loading and saving (see below).}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNMHandler}}{For loading and saving (see below).}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxTIFFHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
\twocolitem{\indexit{wxXPMHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
\end{twocollist}

When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.

Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

Copy constructor.

\func{}{wxImage}{\param{const wxBitmap\&}{ bitmap}}

(Deprecated form, use \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}
instead.) Constructs an image from a platform-dependent bitmap. This preserves
mask information so that bitmaps and images can be converted back
and forth without loss in that respect.

Creates an image with the given width and height.

\func{}{wxImage}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{unsigned char*}{ data}, \param{bool}{ static\_data=FALSE}}

Creates an image from given data with the given width and height. If 
{\it static\_data} is TRUE, then wxImage will not delete the actual
image data in its destructor, otherwise it will free it by calling
{\it free()}.

 \param{bool}{ interpolating = TRUE}, \param{wxPoint*}{ offsetAfterRotation = NULL}}

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

Returns the rotated image, leaving this image intact.

\membersection{wxImage::Rotate90}\label{wximagerotate90}

\constfunc{wxImage}{Rotate90}{\param{bool}{ clockwise = TRUE}}

Returns a copy of the image rotated 90 degrees in the direction
indicated by {\it clockwise}.

\membersection{wxImage::Scale}\label{wximagescale}

\constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}

Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for
scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps
is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.

It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally
to scale bitmaps when using mapping modes in wxDC. 

Example:

\begin{verbatim}
    // get the bitmap from somewhere
    wxBitmap bmp = ...;

    // rescale it to have size of 32*32
    if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
    {
        wxImage image(bmp);
        bmp = wxBitmap(image.Scale(32, 32));

        // another possibility:
        image.Rescale(32, 32);
        bmp = image;
    }

\end{verbatim}

\helpref{Rescale}{wximagerescale}

\membersection{wxImage::SetData}\label{wximagesetdata}

\func{void}{SetData}{\param{unsigned char*}{data}}

Sets the image data without performing checks. The data given must have
the size (width*height*3) or results will be unexpected. Don't use this
method if you aren't sure you know what you are doing.

\membersection{wxImage::SetMask}\label{wximagesetmask}

\func{void}{SetMask}{\param{bool}{ hasMask = TRUE}}

Specifies whether there is a mask or not. The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.

\membersection{wxImage::SetMaskColour}\label{wximagesetmaskcolour}

\func{void}{SetMaskColour}{\param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}, \param{unsigned char }{green}}

Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).

\membersection{wxImage::SetOption}\label{wximagesetoption}

\func{void}{SetOption}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{const wxString\&}{ value}}

\func{void}{SetOption}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{int}{ value}}

Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to {\it name}.

For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option {\bf quality} is
used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

\membersection{wxImage::SetPalette}\label{wximagesetpalette}

\func{void}{SetPalette}{\param{const wxPalette\&}{ palette}}

Associates a palette with the image. The palette may be used when converting
wxImage to wxBitmap (MSW only at present) or in file save operations (none as yet).

\membersection{wxImage::SetRGB}\label{wximagesetrgb}

\func{void}{SetRGB}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{green}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}}

Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to
be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data 
using the \helpref{GetData}{wximagegetdata} method.

\membersection{wxImage::operator $=$}

\func{wxImage\& }{operator $=$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}

Assignment operator. This operator does not copy any data, but instead
passes a pointer to the data in {\it image} and increments a reference
counter. It is a fast operation.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{image}{Image to assign.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns 'this' object.

\membersection{wxImage::operator $==$}

\func{bool}{operator $==$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}

Equality operator. This operator tests whether the internal data pointers are
equal (a fast test).

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{image}{Image to compare with 'this'}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns TRUE if the images were effectively equal, FALSE otherwise.

\membersection{wxImage::operator $!=$}

\func{bool}{operator $!=$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}

Inequality operator. This operator tests whether the internal data pointers are
unequal (a fast test).

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{image}{Image to compare with 'this'}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns TRUE if the images were unequal, FALSE otherwise.

\section{\class{wxImageHandler}}\label{wximagehandler}

This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.

If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler
and add the handler using \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} in your
application initialisation.

\wxheading{Note (Legal Issue)}

This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

(Applies when wxWindows is linked with JPEG support. wxJPEGHandler uses libjpeg
created by IJG.)

Loads a image from a stream, putting the resulting data into {\it image}. If the image file contains
more than one image and the image handler is capable of retrieving these individually, {\it index}
indicates which image to read from the stream.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{image}{The image object which is to be affected by this operation.}

\docparam{stream}{Opened input stream for reading image data.}

\docparam{verbose}{If set to TRUE, errors reported by the image handler will produce wxLogMessages.}

\docparam{index}{The index of the image in the file (starting from zero).}

\wxheading{Return value}

TRUE if the operation succeeded, FALSE otherwise.
