The validity of these flags depends on the platform and wxWindows configuration.
If all possible wxWindows settings are used, the Windows platform supports BMP file, BMP resource,
XPM data, and XPM. Under wxGTK, the available formats are BMP file, XPM data, XPM file, and PNG file.
-Under wxMotif, the available formats are XBM data, XBM file, XPM data, XPM file.}
