\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 wxDC. Instead, a platform-specific
-wxBitmap object must be created from it, and that bitmap drawn on the wxDC, using
-wxDC::DrawBitmap.
+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{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapconstr} constructor.
+This bitmap can then
+be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
-This class is currently only available under GTK and Windows.
+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 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 $255$
+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 appropriate
+handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
+\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.
+
+\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
+\begin{twocollist}
+\twocolitem{\indexit{wxBMPHandler}}{For loading and saving, always installed.}
+\twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNGHandler}}{For loading (including alpha support) and saving.}

+\twocolitem{\indexit{wxCURHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
+\twocolitem{\indexit{wxANIHandler}}{For loading only.}
+\end{twocollist}
+
+When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
+different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
+save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
+
+Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
+PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for

+
+It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally

+\begin{verbatim}
+ // get the bitmap from somewhere
+ wxBitmap bmp = ...;
+
+ // rescale it to have size of 32*32
+ if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )

+\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.

+{\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}
-Sets the mask colour for this image.
+\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

+
+\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).

Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
