If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxBitmap, derive a class from
wxBitmapHandler and add the handler using wxBitmap::AddHandler() in your

Note that all wxBitmapHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of the
@ref page_libs_wxcore library.
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
- ::wxBitmapType enumeration.
+ Note that many wxBitmap functions take a @e type parameter, which is a
+ value of the ::wxBitmapType enumeration.
The validity of those values depends however on the platform where your program
is running and from the wxWidgets configuration.
- If all possible wxWidgets 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.
- In addition, wxBitmap can load and save all formats that wxImage; see wxImage for
- more info. Of course, you must have wxImage handlers loaded.
+ If all possible wxWidgets settings are used:
+ - wxMSW supports BMP and ICO files, BMP and ICO resources;
+ - wxGTK supports XPM files;
+ - wxMac supports PICT resources;
+ - wxX11 supports XPM files, XPM data, XBM data;
+
+ In addition, wxBitmap can load and save all formats that wxImage can; see wxImage
+ for more info. Of course, you must have loaded the wxImage handlers
+ (see ::wxInitAllImageHandlers() and wxImage::AddHandler).
+ Note that all available wxBitmapHandlers for a given wxWidgets port are
+ automatically loaded at startup so you won't need to use wxBitmap::AddHandler.
+
+ More on the difference between wxImage and wxBitmap: wxImage is just a
+ buffer of RGB bytes with an optional buffer for the alpha bytes. It is all
+ generic, platform independent and image file format independent code. It
+ includes generic code for scaling, resizing, clipping, and other manipulations
+ of the image data. OTOH, wxBitmap is intended to be a wrapper of whatever is
+ the native image format that is quickest/easiest to draw to a DC or to be the
+ target of the drawing operations performed on a wxMemoryDC. By splitting the
+ responsibilities between wxImage/wxBitmap like this then it's easier to use
+ generic code shared by all platforms and image types for generic operations and
+ platform specific code where performance or compatibility is needed.
