\section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
-from data, or using the constructor taking a wxBitmap object. An image
+from data, or using \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}. An image
can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
it can be used for basic image manipulation.
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{ConvertToBitmap}{wximageconverttobitmap} function. This bitmap can then
+the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapconstr} 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 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).
+
\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
-handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
+installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
+handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

\membersection{wxImage::ConvertToBitmap}\label{wximageconverttobitmap}
\constfunc{wxBitmap}{ConvertToBitmap}{\void}
-Converts the image to a platform-specific bitmap object. 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 colour depth of the current system which entails
-that a colour reduction has to take place.
+Deprecated, use equivalent \helpref{wxBitmap constructor}{wxbitmapconstr}
+(which takes wxImage and depth as its arguments) instead.
-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).

+Returns pointer to the array storing the alpha values for this image. This

+\membersection{wxImage::Mirror}\label{wximagemirror}

+\constfunc{wxImage}{Mirror}{\param{bool}{ horizontally = true}}

+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::Rotate90}\label{wximagerotate90}
+
+\constfunc{wxImage}{Rotate90}{\param{bool}{ clockwise = true}}
+
+Returns a copy of the image rotated 90 degrees in the direction
+indicated by {\it clockwise}.
+
\membersection{wxImage::Scale}\label{wximagescale}
\constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally
-to scale bitmaps when using mapping mode in wxDC.

Example:
// rescale it to have size of 32*32
if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
{
- wxImage image(bmp);
- bmp = image.Scale(32, 32).ConvertToBitmap();

+\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}}
+
+\func{void}{SetOption}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{int}{ value}}
+
+Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to {\it name}.
+
+For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option {\bf quality} is
+used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

+
