\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
-from data, or using the constructor taking a wxBitmap object. An image
+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{ConvertToBitmap}{wximageconverttobitmap} function. This bitmap can then
+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
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
+handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or

-When in 8-bit mode (PseudoColour mode), the GTK port will use a color cube created
