\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.

+
+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

+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.
