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}.

+\end{twocollist}
+
+When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
+different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
+save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
+
+Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
+PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.
