\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
it can be used for basic image manipulation.

is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.

+\twocolitem{{\bf wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_HIGH}}{Uses bicubic and box averaging resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively}
+\end{twocollist}}
+
+It should be noted that although using wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_HIGH produces much nicer
+looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging method
+which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
+this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme cases
+it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a lot of
+data.
+
+It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
+when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
+image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
+will work.
