-wxArtProvider class.
+wxArtProvider class is used to customize the look of wxWidgets application.
+When wxWidgets needs to display an icon or a bitmap (e.g. in the standard file
+dialog), it does not use a hard-coded resource but asks wxArtProvider for it
+instead. This way users can plug in their own wxArtProvider class and easily
+replace standard art with their own version. All
+that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its
+\helpref{CreateBitmap}{wxartprovidercreatebitmap} and/or its
+\helpref{CreateIconBundle}{wxartprovidercreateiconbundle} methods
+and register the provider with
+\helpref{wxArtProvider::Push}{wxartproviderpush}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+  class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider
+  {
+  protected:
+    wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id, 
+                          const wxArtClient& client,
+                          const wxSize size)
+
+    // optionally override this one as well
+    wxIconBundle CreateIconBundle(const wxArtID& id,
+                                  const wxArtClient& client)
+    { ... }
+  };
+  ...
+  wxArtProvider::Push(new MyProvider);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If you need bitmap images (of the same artwork) that should be displayed at different sizes
+you should probably consider overriding \helpref{CreateIconBundle()}{wxartprovidercreateiconbundle} 
+and supplying icon bundles that contain different bitmap sizes.
+
+There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your code and use
+platform native icons as provided by \helpref{wxArtProvider::GetBitmap}{wxartprovidergetbitmap} or 
+\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetIcon}{wxartprovidergeticon} (NB: this is not yet really
+possible as of wxWidgets 2.3.3, the set of wxArtProvider bitmaps is too
+small). 
+
+
+\membersection{Identifying art resources}\label{artprovideridentifying}
+
+Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that is used when
+requesting a resource from it. The ID is represented by wxArtID type and can
+have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these
+constants in the \helpref{artprov}{sampleartprovider} sample):
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+
+\item wxART\_ERROR
+\item wxART\_QUESTION
+\item wxART\_WARNING
+\item wxART\_INFORMATION
+\item wxART\_ADD\_BOOKMARK
+\item wxART\_DEL\_BOOKMARK

+\item wxART\_GO\_DIR\_UP
+\item wxART\_EXECUTABLE\_FILE
+\item wxART\_NORMAL\_FILE
+\item wxART\_TICK\_MARK

+\item wxART\_FIND
+\item wxART\_FIND\_AND\_REPLACE
+\item wxART\_HARDDISK
+\item wxART\_FLOPPY
+\item wxART\_CDROM
+\item wxART\_REMOVABLE
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using 
+\helpref{Push}{wxartproviderpush} may be used.
+
+\wxheading{GTK+ Note}
+
+When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. {\tt "gtk-cdrom"}) may
+be used as well. Additionally, if wxGTK was compiled against GTK+ >= 2.4, then
+it is also possible to load icons from current icon theme by specifying their
+name (without extension and directory components). Icon themes recognized
+by GTK+ follow the
+\urlref{freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification}{http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec}. Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all
+icons, so wxArtProvider may return {\tt wxNullBitmap} or {\tt wxNullIcon}.
+Default theme is typically installed in {\tt /usr/share/icons/hicolor}.
+
+
+\membersection{Clients}\label{artproviderclients}
+
+Client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap or GetIcon
+function. It is represented by wxClientID type and can have one of these 
+values:
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item wxART\_TOOLBAR
+\item wxART\_MENU
+\item wxART\_BUTTON
+\item wxART\_FRAME\_ICON
+\item wxART\_CMN\_DIALOG
+\item wxART\_HELP\_BROWSER
+\item wxART\_MESSAGE\_BOX
+\item wxART\_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the categories above)
+\end{itemize}
+Client ID servers as a hint to wxArtProvider that is supposed to help it to
+choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use
+slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent the
+same action (e.g. {\tt wx\_ART\_FILE\_OPEN}). Remember that this is really
+only a hint for wxArtProvider -- it is common that
+\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetBitmap}{wxartprovidergetbitmap} 
+returns identical bitmap for different {\it client} values!
+

+
+See the \helpref{artprov}{sampleartprovider} sample for an example of wxArtProvider usage.

+\func{}{\destruct{wxArtProvider}}{\void}

+
+Derived art provider classes must override this method to create requested art

+
+\docparam{client}{wxArtClient identifier of the client (i.e. who is asking for the bitmap).
