This class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent bitmap,
either monochrome or colour or colour with alpha channel support.
+
+ If you need direct access the bitmap data instead going through
+ drawing to it using wxMemoryDC you need to use the wxPixelData
+ class (either wxNativePixelData for RGB bitmaps or wxAlphaPixelData
+ for bitmaps with an additionaly alpha channel).
@note
Many wxBitmap functions take a @e type parameter, which is a value of the
::wxNullBitmap
