 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}.

+When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of

+save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
+
+Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
