    @wxheader{imaglist.h}

    A wxImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in
    an unspecified form. Images can have masks for transparent
    drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps
    and icons.

    wxImageList is used principally in conjunction with wxTreeCtrl and
    wxListCtrl classes.
