<modulesummary>Functions for wxImage class</modulesummary>
<description><p>This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.
      </p><p>An image can be created from data, or using <seemfa marker="wxBitmap#convertToImage/1"><c>wxBitmap:convertToImage/1</c></seemfa>. 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.
      </p><p>A <seeerl marker="wxImage"><c>wxImage</c></seeerl> cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a <seeerl marker="wxDC"><c>wxDC</c></seeerl>. Instead, a platform-specific <seeerl marker="wxBitmap"><c>wxBitmap</c></seeerl> object must be created from it using the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor. This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using <seemfa marker="wxDC#drawBitmap/4"><c>wxDC:drawBitmap/4</c></seemfa>.
      </p><p>More on the difference between <seeerl marker="wxImage"><c>wxImage</c></seeerl> and <seeerl marker="wxBitmap"><c>wxBitmap</c></seeerl>: <seeerl marker="wxImage"><c>wxImage</c></seeerl> is just a buffer of RGB bytes with an optional buffer for the alpha bytes. It is all generic, platform independent and image file format independent code. It includes generic code for scaling, resizing, clipping, and other manipulations of the image data. OTOH, <seeerl marker="wxBitmap"><c>wxBitmap</c></seeerl> is intended to be a wrapper of whatever is the native image format that is quickest/easiest to draw to a DC or to be the target of the drawing operations performed on a <seeerl marker="wxMemoryDC"><c>wxMemoryDC</c></seeerl>. By splitting the responsibilities between wxImage/wxBitmap like this then it's easier to use generic code shared by all platforms and image types for generic operations and platform specific code where performance or compatibility is needed.
      </p><p>One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic creation of a <seeerl marker="wxMask"><c>wxMask</c></seeerl> object associated to the bitmap object.
      </p><p>Alpha channel support</p> <p>Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 <seeerl marker="wxImage"><c>wxImage</c></seeerl> 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.
      </p> <p>An alpha value of 0 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of 255 means that the pixel is 100% opaque. The constants ?wxIMAGE_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT and ?wxIMAGE_ALPHA_OPAQUE can be used to indicate those values in a more readable form.
      </p> <p>While all images have RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel. Before using <seemfa marker="#getAlpha/3"><c>getAlpha/3</c></seemfa> you should check if this image contains an alpha channel with <seemfa marker="#hasAlpha/1"><c>hasAlpha/1</c></seemfa>. Currently the BMP, PNG, TGA, and TIFF format handlers have full alpha channel support for loading so if you want to use alpha you have to use one of these formats. If you initialize the image alpha channel yourself using <seemfa marker="#setAlpha/4"><c>setAlpha/4</c></seemfa>, you should save it in either PNG, TGA, or TIFF format to avoid losing it as these are the only handlers that currently support saving with alpha.
      </p><p>Available image handlers</p> <p>The following image handlers are available. wxBMPHandler is always installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with <c>wxImage::AddHandler</c> (not implemented in wx) or call ?wxInitAllImageHandlers().
      </p> <p>When saving in PCX format, <c>wxPCXHandler</c> (not implemented in wx) 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.
      </p><p>Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in PNM format, <c>wxPNMHandler</c> (not implemented in wx) will always save as raw RGB.
      </p><p>Saving GIFs requires images of maximum 8 bpp (see <c>wxQuantize</c> (not implemented in wx)), and the alpha channel converted to a mask (see <seemfa marker="#convertAlphaToMask/5"><c>convertAlphaToMask/5</c></seemfa>). Saving an animated GIF requires images of the same size (see <c>wxGIFHandler::SaveAnimation</c> (not implemented in wx))
      </p><p>Predefined objects/pointers: ?wxNullImage

      </p><p>It should be noted that although using <c>wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH</c> produces much nicer looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging method which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme cases it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a lot of data.
      </p><p>It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel will work.
