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.
+the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapctor} 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{Alpha channel support}
+
+Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in
+addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel
+it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. The alpha value of $0$
+corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while the value of $255$
+means that the pixel is 100\% opaque.
+
+Unlike the RGB data, not all images have the alpha channel and before using
+\helpref{GetAlpha}{wximagegetalpha} you should check if this image contains
+alpha value with \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha}. In fact, currently only
+images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have alpha
+channel but support for it will be added to the other formats as well (as well
+as support for saving images with alpha channel which is not still implemented
+either).
+
\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
+installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

-
-\func{wxImage}{Rotate}{\param{double}{ angle}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{rotationCentre},
- \param{bool}{ interpolating = TRUE}, \param{wxPoint*}{ offsetAfterRotation = NULL}}
-
-Rotates the image about the given point, by {\it angle} radians. Passing TRUE
-to {\it interpolating} results in better image quality, but is slower. If the
-image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered pixels in the
-rotated image background. Else, black (rgb 0, 0, 0) will be used.
-
-Returns the rotated image, leaving this image intact.

+\membersection{wxImage::SetAlpha}\label{wximagesetalpha}
+
+\func{void}{SetAlpha}{\param{unsigned char *}{alpha = {\tt NULL}}}
+
+This function is similar to \helpref{SetData}{wximagesetdata} and has similar
+restrictions. The pointer passed to it may however be {\tt NULL} in which case
+the function will allocate the alpha array internally -- this is useful to add
+alpha channel data to an image which doesn't have any. If the pointer is not
+{\tt NULL}, it must have one byte for each image pixel and be allocated with
+{\tt malloc()}. wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it.
+
+\func{void}{SetAlpha}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{alpha}}
+
+Sets the alpha value for the given pixel. This function should only be called
+if the image has alpha channel data, use \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha} to
+check for this.
+
\membersection{wxImage::SetData}\label{wximagesetdata}
\func{void}{SetData}{\param{unsigned char*}{data}}
the size (width*height*3) or results will be unexpected. Don't use this
method if you aren't sure you know what you are doing.
+The data must have been allocated with {\tt malloc()}, {\large {\bf NOT}} with
+{\tt operator new}.
+
+After this call the pointer to the data is owned by the wxImage object,
+that will be responsible for deleting it.
+Do not pass to this function a pointer obtained through
+\helpref{wxImage::GetData}{wximagegetdata}.
+
\membersection{wxImage::SetMask}\label{wximagesetmask}
-\func{void}{SetMask}{\param{bool}{ hasMask = TRUE}}
+\func{void}{SetMask}{\param{bool}{ hasMask = true}}
Specifies whether there is a mask or not. The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.
\membersection{wxImage::SetMaskColour}\label{wximagesetmaskcolour}
-\func{void}{SetMaskColour}{\param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}, \param{unsigned char }{green}}
+\func{void}{SetMaskColour}{\param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{green}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}}
Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).
+\membersection{wxImage::SetMaskFromImage}\label{wximagesetmaskfromimage}
+
+\func{bool}{SetMaskFromImage}{\param{const wxImage\&}{ mask}, \param{unsigned char}{ mr}, \param{unsigned char}{ mg}, \param{unsigned char}{ mb}}
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{mask}{The mask image to extract mask shape from. Must have same dimensions as the image.}
+
+\docparam{mr,mg,mb}{RGB value of pixels in {\it mask} that will be used to create the mask.}
+
+Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of {\it mr,mg,mb}
+in {\it mask} will be masked in the image. This is done by first finding an
+unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then
+using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel
+in {\it mask} has given RGB value.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns false if {\it mask} does not have same dimensions as the image or if
+there is no unused colour left. Returns true if the mask was successfully
+applied.
+
+\wxheading{Notes}
+
+Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is
+computationally intensive operation.

\membersection{wxImage::SetOption}\label{wximagesetoption}
\func{void}{SetOption}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{const wxString\&}{ value}}
be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data
using the \helpref{GetData}{wximagegetdata} method.

-Returns TRUE if the images were unequal, FALSE otherwise.
+Returns true if the images were unequal, false otherwise.
