 \section{\class{wxBitmapDataObject}}\label{wxbitmapdataobject}
 
- wxBitmapDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObject for bitmaps.
+wxBitmapDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObject for bitmap data. It can
+be used without change to paste data into the 
+\helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard} or a \helpref{wxDropSource}{wxdropsource}. A
+user may wish to derive a new class from this class for providing a bitmap
+on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption when offering data in several
+formats, such as a bitmap and GIF.
+
+\pythonnote{If you wish to create a derived wxBitmapDataObject class in
+wxPython you should derive the class from wxPyBitmapDataObject
+in order to get Python-aware capabilities for the various virtual
+methods.}
+
+\wxheading{Virtual functions to override}
+
+This class may be used as is, but 
+\helpref{GetBitmap}{wxbitmapdataobjectgetbitmap} may be overridden to increase
+efficiency.

-Returns wxDF\_BITMAP.
+Returns the bitmap associated with the data object. You may wish to override
+this method when offering data on-demand, but this is not required by
+wxWindows' internals. Use this method to get data in bitmap form from
+the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}.

-\constfunc{virtual wxBitmap}{GetBitmap}{\void}
-
-Returns the bitmap associated with the data object.
+Sets the bitmap associated with the data object. This method is called when the
+data object receives data. Usually there will be no reason to override this
+function.
