/**
    @class wxBitmap

    This class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent bitmap,
    either monochrome or colour or colour with alpha channel support.

    If you need direct access the bitmap data instead going through
    drawing to it using wxMemoryDC you need to use the wxPixelData
    class (either wxNativePixelData for RGB bitmaps or wxAlphaPixelData
    for bitmaps with an additionaly alpha channel).

    Note that many wxBitmap functions take a @e type parameter, which is a 
    value of the ::wxBitmapType enumeration.
    The validity of those values depends however on the platform where your program
    is running and from the wxWidgets configuration.
    If all possible wxWidgets settings are used:
    - wxMSW supports BMP and ICO files, BMP and ICO resources;
    - wxGTK supports XPM files;
    - wxMac supports PICT resources;
    - wxX11 supports XPM files, XPM data, XBM data;

    In addition, wxBitmap can load and save all formats that wxImage can; see wxImage
    for more info. Of course, you must have loaded the wxImage handlers 
    (see ::wxInitAllImageHandlers() and wxImage::AddHandler).
    Note that all available wxBitmapHandlers for a given wxWidgets port are 
    automatically loaded at startup so you won't need to use wxBitmap::AddHandler.
