+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_bitmaps Multi-resolution bitmap

+BitmapBundle properties contain specification of a set of bitmaps or SVG file,
+which are mutually exclusive.
+Example with a set of bitmaps:
+@code
+<bitmaps>
+    <bitmap>new.png</bitmap>
+    <bitmap>new_2x.png</bitmap>
+</bitmaps>
+@endcode
+While using SVG file you also should specify @c size,
+because usually SVG file doesn't have it:
+@code
+<bitmaps>
+    <svg>new.svg</svg>
+    <size>16,16</size>
+</bitmaps>
