+\wxheading{Alpha channel support}
+
+Starting from wxWindows 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).
