Starting from wxWidgets 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 $255$
