}}\label{wximage
}
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.
9 A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC. Instead, a platform-specific
10 wxBitmap object must be created from it, and that bitmap drawn on the wxDC, using

138 Converts the image to a platform-specific bitmap object. This has to be done
139 to actually display an image as you cannot draw an image directly on a window.
140 The resulting bitmap will use the colour depth of the current system which entails
141 that a (crude) colour reduction has to take place. When in
8-bit mode, this
142 routine will use a
color cube created on program start-up to look up colors.
143 Still, the image quality won't be perfect for photo images.
