@class wxBitmap
- @wxheader{bitmap.h}
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).
+ for bitmaps with an additionally 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.
