\func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{void*}{ data}, \param{int}{ type}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
-Creates a bitmap from the given data, which can be of arbitrary type.
-Windows only, I think.
+Creates a bitmap from the given data which is interpreted in platform-dependent
+manner.
\func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const char}{ bits[]}, \param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}\\
\param{int}{ depth = 1}}
Creates a bitmap from an array of bits.
-Note that the bit depth is ignored on GTK+ and Motif. If you want to create a bitmap
-from something else than a 1-bit data array, use the \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} class.
+You should only use this function for monochrome bitmaps ({\it depth} 1) in
+portable programs: in this case the {\it bits} parameter should contain an XBM
+image.
+
+For other bit depths, the behaviour is platform dependent: under Windows, the
+data is passed without any changes to the underlying {\tt CreateBitmap()} API.
+Under other platforms, only monochrome bitmaps may be created using this
+constructor and \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} should be used for creating colour
+bitmaps from static data.
\func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
-Creates a new bitmap. A depth of -1 indicates the depth of the current screen or
-visual. Some platforms only support 1 for monochrome and -1 for the current colour
-setting.
+Creates a new bitmap. A depth of -1 indicates the depth of the current screen
+or visual. Some platforms only support 1 for monochrome and -1 for the current
+colour setting.
\func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const char**}{ bits}}
Loads a bitmap from a file or resource.
+\func{}{wxBitmap}{\param{const wxImage\&}{ img}, \param{int}{ depth = -1}}
+
+Creates bitmap object from the image. This has to be done
+to actually display an image as you cannot draw an image directly on a window.
+The resulting bitmap will use the provided colour depth (or that of the
+current system if depth is -1) which entails that a colour reduction has
+to take place.
+
+When in 8-bit mode (PseudoColour mode), the GTK port will use a color cube created
+on program start-up to look up colors. This ensures a very fast conversion, but
+the image quality won't be perfect (and could be better for photo images using more
+sophisticated dithering algorithms).
+
+On Windows, if there is a palette present (set with SetPalette), it will be used when
+creating the wxBitmap (most useful in 8-bit display mode). On other platforms,
+the palette is currently ignored.

The validity of these flags depends on the platform and wxWindows configuration.
If all possible wxWindows 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.
