 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 withotu 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.

 Returns a sub bitmap of the current one as long as the rect belongs entirely to 
 the bitmap. This function preserves bit depth and mask information.
