@page overview_bitmap Bitmaps and icons overview
Classes: #wxBitmap, #wxBitmapHandler, #wxIcon, #wxCursor.
The wxBitmap class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent bitmap,
either monochrome or colour. Platform-specific methods for creating a
wxBitmap object from an existing file are catered for, and
this is an occasion where conditional compilation will sometimes be
required.
A bitmap created dynamically or loaded from a file can be selected
into a memory device context (instance of #wxMemoryDC). This
enables the bitmap to be copied to a window or memory device context
using wxDC::Blit, or to be used as a drawing surface.
See #wxMemoryDC for an example of drawing onto a bitmap.
All wxWidgets platforms support XPMs for small bitmaps and icons.
You may include the XPM inline as below, since it's C code, or you
can load it at run-time.

@section overview_bitmap_supportedformats Supported bitmap file formats
The following lists the formats handled on different platforms. Note
that missing or partially-implemented formats are automatically supplemented
by the #wxImage to load the data, and then converting
it to wxBitmap form. Note that using wxImage is the preferred way to
load images in wxWidgets, with the exception of resources (XPM-files or
native Windows resources). Writing an image format handler for wxImage
is also far easier than writing one for wxBitmap, because wxImage has
exactly one format on all platforms whereas wxBitmap can store pixel data
very differently, depending on colour depths and platform.

@section bitmaphandlers Bitmap format handlers
@section overview_bitmap_handlers Bitmap format handlers
To provide extensibility, the functionality for loading and saving bitmap formats
is not implemented in the wxBitmap class, but in a number of handler classes,
derived from wxBitmapHandler. There is a static list of handlers which wxBitmap
examines when a file load/save operation is requested. Some handlers are provided as standard, but if you
examines when a file load/save operation is requested.
Some handlers are provided as standard, but if you
have special requirements, you may wish to initialise the wxBitmap class with
some extra handlers which you write yourself or receive from a third party.
To add a handler object to wxBitmap, your application needs to include the header which implements it, and
then call the static function wxBitmap::AddHandler.

@b Note: bitmap handlers are not implemented on all platforms, and new ones rarely need
to be implemented since wxImage can be used for loading most formats, as noted earlier.
