## Detailed Description

This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.

An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage. 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.

A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC. Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap 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 wxDC::DrawBitmap.

More on the difference between wxImage and wxBitmap: wxImage 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, wxBitmap 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 wxMemoryDC. 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.

One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.

# Alpha channel support

Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage 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.

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.

While all images have RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel. Before using wxImage::GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha channel with wxImage::HasAlpha. 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 wxImage::SetAlpha, 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.

# Available image handlers

The following image handlers are available. wxBMPHandler is always installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with wxImage::AddHandler or call wxInitAllImageHandlers().

- wxBMPHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving, always installed.
- wxPNGHandler: For loading and saving. Includes alpha support.
- wxJPEGHandler: For loading and saving.
- wxGIFHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
- wxPCXHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
- wxPNMHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
- wxTIFFHandler: For loading and saving. Includes alpha support.
- wxTGAHandler: For loading and saving. Includes alpha support.
- wxIFFHandler: For loading only.
- wxXPMHandler: For loading and saving.
- wxICOHandler: For loading and saving.
- wxCURHandler: For loading and saving.
- wxANIHandler: For loading only.

When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler 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.

Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.

Saving GIFs requires images of maximum 8 bpp (see wxQuantize), and the alpha channel converted to a mask (see wxImage::ConvertAlphaToMask). Saving an animated GIF requires images of the same size (see wxGIFHandler::SaveAnimation)

wxImage::wxImage | ( | const wxString & | name,
|  | wxBitmapType | type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY,
|  | int | index = -1 )

Creates an image from a file.

Parameters

  name | Name of the file from which to load the image.
  type | May be one of the following: wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP: Load a Windows bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF: Load a GIF bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG: Load a JPEG bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG: Load a PNG bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PCX: Load a PCX bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNM: Load a PNM bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_TIFF: Load a TIFF bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_TGA: Load a TGA bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM: Load a XPM bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO: Load a Windows icon file (ICO). wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR: Load a Windows cursor file (CUR). wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI: Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI). wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY: Will try to autodetect the format.
  index | Index of the image to load in the case that the image file contains multiple images. This is only used by GIF, ICO and TIFF handlers. The default value (-1) means "choose the default image" and is interpreted as the first image (index=0) by the GIF and TIFF handler and as the largest and most colourful one by the ICO handler.

Remarks
  Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured and by which handlers have been loaded, not all formats may be available. Any handler other than BMP must be previously initialized with wxImage::AddHandler or wxInitAllImageHandlers.

Note
  You can use GetOptionInt() to get the hotspot when loading cursor files:
  int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
  int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);
  wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X

## ◆ GetOption()

wxString wxImage::GetOption | ( | const wxString & | name | ) | const

Gets a user-defined string-valued option.

Generic options:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_FILENAME:` The name of the file from which the image was loaded.

Options specific to wxGIFHandler:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_GIF_COMMENT:` The comment text that is read from or written to the GIF file. In an animated GIF each frame can have its own comment. If there is only a comment in the first frame of a GIF it will not be repeated in other frames.

Parameters

  name | The name of the option, case-insensitive.

Returns
  The value of the option or an empty string if not found. Use HasOption() if an empty string can be a valid option value.

See also
  SetOption(), GetOptionInt(), HasOption()

## ◆ GetOptionInt()

int wxImage::GetOptionInt | ( | const wxString & | name | ) | const

Gets a user-defined integer-valued option.

The function is case-insensitive to name. If the given option is not present, the function returns 0. Use HasOption() if 0 is a possibly valid value for the option.

Generic options:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH` and `wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT:` If either of these options is specified, the loaded image will be scaled down (preserving its aspect ratio) so that its width is less than the max width given if it is not 0 and its height is less than the max height given if it is not 0. This is typically used for loading thumbnails and the advantage of using these options compared to calling Rescale() after loading is that some handlers (only JPEG one right now) support rescaling the image during loading which is vastly more efficient than loading the entire huge image and rescaling it later (if these options are not supported by the handler, this is still what happens however). These options must be set before calling LoadFile() to have any effect.

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_ORIGINAL_WIDTH` and `wxIMAGE_OPTION_ORIGINAL_HEIGHT:` These options will return the original size of the image if either `wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH` or `wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT` is specified.
  Since
    2.9.3
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_QUALITY:` JPEG quality used when saving. This is an integer in 0..100 range with 0 meaning very poor and 100 excellent (but very badly compressed). This option is currently ignored for the other formats.

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT:` The value of this option determines whether the resolution of the image is specified in centimetres or inches, see wxImageResolution enum elements.

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTION`, `wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONX` and `wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONY:` These options define the resolution of the image in the units corresponding to `wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT` options value. The first option can be set before saving the image to set both horizontal and vertical resolution to the same value. The X and Y options are set by the image handlers if they support the image resolution (currently BMP, JPEG and TIFF handlers do) and the image provides the resolution information and can be queried after loading the image.

Options specific to wxPNGHandler:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FORMAT:` Format for saving a PNG file, see wxImagePNGType for the supported values.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_BITDEPTH:` Bit depth for every channel (R/G/B/A).
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER:` Filter for saving a PNG file, see libpng (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-1.2.5-manual.html) for possible values (e.g. PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, PNG_FILTER_UP, etc).
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_LEVEL:` Compression level (0..9) for saving a PNG file. A high value creates smaller-but-slower PNG file. Note that unlike other formats (e.g. JPEG) the PNG format is always lossless and thus this compression level doesn't tradeoff the image quality.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_MEM_LEVEL:` Compression memory usage level (1..9) for saving a PNG file. A high value means the saving process consumes more memory, but may create smaller PNG file.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_STRATEGY:` Possible values are 0 for default strategy, 1 for filter, and 2 for Huffman-only. You can use OptiPNG (http://optipng.sourceforge.net/) to get a suitable value for your application.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_BUFFER_SIZE:` Internal buffer size (in bytes) for saving a PNG file. Ideally this should be as big as the resulting PNG file. Use this option if your application produces images with small size variation.

Options specific to wxTIFFHandler:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_BITSPERSAMPLE:` Number of bits per sample (channel). Currently values of 1 and 8 are supported. A value of 1 results in a black and white image. A value of 8 (the default) can mean greyscale or RGB, depending on the value of `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_SAMPLESPERPIXEL`.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_SAMPLESPERPIXEL:` Number of samples (channels) per pixel. Currently values of 1 and 3 are supported. A value of 1 results in either a greyscale (by default) or black and white image, depending on the value of `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_BITSPERSAMPLE`. A value of 3 (the default) will result in an RGB image.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_COMPRESSION:` Compression type. By default it is set to 1 (COMPRESSION_NONE). Typical other values are 5 (COMPRESSION_LZW) and 7 (COMPRESSION_JPEG). See tiff.h for more options.
- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_PHOTOMETRIC:` Specifies the photometric interpretation. By default it is set to 2 (PHOTOMETRIC_RGB) for RGB images and 0 (PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE) for greyscale or black and white images. It can also be set to 1 (PHOTOMETRIC_MINISBLACK) to treat the lowest value as black and highest as white. If you want a greyscale image it is also sufficient to only specify `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_PHOTOMETRIC` and set it to either PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE or PHOTOMETRIC_MINISBLACK. The other values are taken care of.

Options specific to wxGIFHandler:

- `wxIMAGE_OPTION_GIF_TRANSPARENCY:` How to deal with transparent pixels. By default, the color of transparent pixels is changed to bright pink, so that if the image is accidentally drawn without transparency, it will be obvious. Normally, this would not be noticed, as these pixels will not be rendered. But in some cases it might be useful to load a GIF without making any modifications to its colours. Use `wxIMAGE_OPTION_GIF_TRANSPARENCY_UNCHANGED` to keep the colors correct. Use `wxIMAGE_OPTION_GIF_TRANSPARENCY_HIGHLIGHT` to convert transparent pixels to pink (default). This option has been added in wxWidgets 3.1.1.

Note
  Be careful when combining the options `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_SAMPLESPERPIXEL`, `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_BITSPERSAMPLE`, and `wxIMAGE_OPTION_TIFF_PHOTOMETRIC`. While some measures are taken to prevent illegal combinations and/or values, it is still easy to abuse them and come up with invalid results in the form of either corrupted images or crashes.

Parameters

  name | The name of the option, case-insensitive.

Returns
  The value of the option or 0 if not found. Use HasOption() if 0 can be a valid option value.

|  | const wxString & | mimetype,
|  | int | index = -1 )
| virtual

Loads an image from an input stream.

Parameters

  stream | Opened input stream from which to load the image. Currently, the stream must support seeking.
  mimetype | MIME type string (for example 'image/jpeg')
  index | See the description in the LoadFile(wxInputStream&, wxBitmapType, int) overload.

## ◆ LoadFile() [4/4]

virtual bool wxImage::LoadFile | ( | wxInputStream & | stream,
|  | wxBitmapType | type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY,
|  | int | index = -1 )
| virtual

Loads an image from an input stream.

If the file can't be loaded, this function returns false and logs an error using wxLogError(). If the file can be loaded but some problems were detected while doing it, it can also call wxLogWarning() to notify about these problems. If this is undesirable, use SetLoadFlags() to reset `Load_Verbose` flag and suppress these warnings.

Parameters

  stream | Opened input stream from which to load the image. Currently, the stream must support seeking.
  type | May be one of the following: wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP: Load a Windows bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF: Load a GIF bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG: Load a JPEG bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG: Load a PNG bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PCX: Load a PCX bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNM: Load a PNM bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_TIFF: Load a TIFF bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_TGA: Load a TGA bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM: Load a XPM bitmap file. wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO: Load a Windows icon file (ICO). wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR: Load a Windows cursor file (CUR). wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI: Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI). wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY: Will try to autodetect the format.
  index | Index of the image to load in the case that the image file contains multiple images. This is only used by GIF, ICO and TIFF handlers. The default value (-1) means "choose the default image" and is interpreted as the first image (index=0) by the GIF and TIFF handler and as the largest and most colourful one by the ICO handler.

Returns
  true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise. If the optional index parameter is out of range, false is returned and a call to wxLogError() takes place.

Remarks
  Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured, not all formats may be available.

Note
  You can use GetOptionInt() to get the hotspot when loading cursor files:
  int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
  int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);

## ◆ Mirror()

wxImage wxImage::Mirror | ( | bool | horizontally = true | ) | const

Returns a mirrored copy of the image.

The parameter horizontally indicates the orientation.

## ◆ operator=()

wxImage & wxImage::operator= | ( | const wxImage & | image | ) |

Assignment operator, using reference counting.

Parameters

Takes care of the mask colour and out of bounds problems.

Parameters

  image | The image containing the data to copy, must be valid.
  x | The horizontal position of the position to copy the data to.
  y | The vertical position of the position to copy the data to.
  alphaBlend | This parameter (new in wx 3.1.5) determines whether the alpha values of the original image replace (default) or are composed with the alpha channel of this image. Notice that alpha blending overrides the mask handling.

## ◆ RemoveHandler()

bool wxImage::RemoveHandler | ( | const wxString & | name | ) |
| static

Finds the handler with the given name, and removes it.

The handler is also deleted.

Parameters

  name | The handler name.

## ◆ Replace()

void wxImage::Replace | ( | unsigned char | r1,
|  | unsigned char | g1,
|  | unsigned char | b1,
|  | unsigned char | r2,
|  | unsigned char | g2,
|  | unsigned char | b2 )

Replaces the colour specified by r1,g1,b1 by the colour r2,g2,b2.

wxImage & wxImage::Rescale | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | wxImageResizeQuality | quality = wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL )

Changes the size of the image in-place by scaling it: after a call to this function,the image will have the given width and height.

For a description of the quality parameter, see the Scale() function. Returns the (modified) image itself.

  Scale()

## ◆ Resize()

wxImage & wxImage::Resize | ( | const wxSize & | size,
|  | const wxPoint & | pos,
|  | int | red = -1,
|  | int | green = -1,
|  | int | blue = -1 )

Changes the size of the image in-place without scaling it by adding either a border with the given colour or cropping as necessary.

The image is pasted into a new image with the given size and background colour at the position pos relative to the upper left of the new image.

If red = green = blue = -1 then use either the current mask colour if set or find, use, and set a suitable mask colour for any newly exposed areas.

Returns
  The (modified) image itself.

wxImage wxImage::Rotate | ( | double | angle,
|  | const wxPoint & | rotationCentre,
|  | bool | interpolating = true,
|  | wxPoint * | offsetAfterRotation = NULL ) const

Rotates the image about the given point, by angle radians.

Passing true to interpolating results in better image quality, but is slower.

If the image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered pixels in the rotated image background. Else, black (rgb 0, 0, 0) will be used.

Returns the rotated image, leaving this image intact.

Rotates the hue of each pixel in the image by angle, which is a double in the range [-1.0..+1.0], where -1.0 corresponds to -360 degrees and +1.0 corresponds to +360 degrees.

## ◆ SaveFile() [1/5]

virtual bool wxImage::SaveFile | ( | const wxString & | name | ) | const
| virtual

  LoadFile()

## ◆ SaveFile() [5/5]

virtual bool wxImage::SaveFile | ( | wxOutputStream & | stream,
|  | wxBitmapType | type ) const
| virtual

Saves an image in the given stream.

Parameters

  stream | Opened output stream to save the image to.
  type | MIME type.

## ◆ Scale()

wxImage wxImage::Scale | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | wxImageResizeQuality | quality = wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL ) const

Returns a scaled version of the image.

This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.

The parameter quality determines what method to use for resampling the image, see wxImageResizeQuality documentation.

It should be noted that although using `wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH` 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.

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.

Example:

// get the bitmap from somewhere
wxBitmap bmp = ...;
// rescale it to have size of 32*32
if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
{
wxImage image = bmp.ConvertToImage();
bmp = wxBitmap(image.Scale(32, 32));
// another possibility:
image.Rescale(32, 32);
bmp = image;
}
wxBitmap

Definition bitmap.h:212
wxBitmap::GetWidth
virtual int GetWidth() const
Returns the width of the bitmap in physical pixels.
wxBitmap::GetHeight
virtual int GetHeight() const
Returns the height of the bitmap in physical pixels.
wxBitmap::ConvertToImage
virtual wxImage ConvertToImage() const
Creates an image from a platform-dependent bitmap.
wxImage::wxImage
wxImage()
Creates an empty wxImage object without an alpha channel.
wxImage::Rescale
wxImage & Rescale(int width, int height, wxImageResizeQuality quality=wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL)
Changes the size of the image in-place by scaling it: after a call to this function,...
wxImage::Scale
wxImage Scale(int width, int height, wxImageResizeQuality quality=wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL) const
Returns a scaled version of the image.

Note
  The algorithm used for the default (normal) quality value doesn't work with images larger than 65536 (2^16) pixels in either dimension for 32-bit programs. For 64-bit programs the limit is 2^48 and so not relevant in practice.

## ◆ SetAlpha() [1/2]

void wxImage::SetAlpha | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | unsigned char | alpha )

Sets the alpha value for the given pixel.

This function should only be called if the image has alpha channel data, use HasAlpha() to check for this.

## ◆ SetAlpha() [2/2]

void wxImage::SetAlpha | ( | unsigned char * | alpha = NULL,
|  | bool | static_data = false )

This function is similar to SetData() and has similar restrictions.

The pointer passed to it may however be NULL in which case the function will allocate the alpha array internally – this is useful to add alpha channel data to an image which doesn't have any.

If the pointer is not NULL, it must have one byte for each image pixel and be allocated with malloc(). wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it unless static_data parameter is set to true – in this case the caller should do it.

## ◆ SetData() [1/2]

void wxImage::SetData | ( | unsigned char * | data,
|  | bool | static_data = false )

Sets the image data without performing checks.

The data given must have the size (width*height*3) or results will be unexpected. Don't use this method if you aren't sure you know what you are doing.

The data must have been allocated with `malloc()`, NOT with `operator` new.

If static_data is false, after this call the pointer to the data is owned by the wxImage object, that will be responsible for deleting it. Do not pass to this function a pointer obtained through GetData().

## ◆ SetData() [2/2]

void wxImage::SetData | ( | unsigned char * | data,
|  | int | new_width,
|  | int | new_height,
|  | bool | static_data = false )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

## ◆ SetDefaultLoadFlags()

void wxImage::SetDefaultLoadFlags | ( | int | flags | ) |
| static

Sets the default value for the flags used for loading image files.

This method changes the global value of the flags used for all the subsequently created wxImage objects by default. It doesn't affect the already existing objects.

By default, the global flags include `Load_Verbose` flag value.

See also
  LoadFile(), SetLoadFlags(), GetDefaultLoadFlags()

Since
  3.1.0

## ◆ SetLoadFlags()

void wxImage::SetLoadFlags | ( | int | flags | ) |

Sets the flags used for loading image files by this object.

The flags will affect any future calls to LoadFile() for this object. To change the flags for all image objects, call SetDefaultLoadFlags() before creating any of them.

Currently the only defined flag is `Load_Verbose` which determines if the non-fatal (i.e. not preventing the file from being loaded completely) problems should result in the calls to wxLogWarning() function. It is recommended to customize handling of these warnings by e.g. defining a custom log target (see Logging Overview), but if such warnings should be completely suppressed, clearing this flag provides a simple way to do it, for example:

wxImage image;
image.SetLoadFlags(image.GetLoadFlags() & ~wxImage::Load_Verbose);
image.LoadFile(...);
wxImage::GetLoadFlags
int GetLoadFlags() const
Returns the file load flags used for this object.
wxImage::LoadFile
virtual bool LoadFile(wxInputStream &stream, wxBitmapType type=wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY, int index=-1)
Loads an image from an input stream.
wxImage::SetLoadFlags
void SetLoadFlags(int flags)
Sets the flags used for loading image files by this object.

  LoadFile(), SetLoadFlags(), GetLoadFlags()

Since
  3.1.0

## ◆ SetMask()

void wxImage::SetMask | ( | bool | hasMask = true | ) |

Specifies whether there is a mask or not.

The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.

## ◆ SetMaskColour()

void wxImage::SetMaskColour | ( | unsigned char | red,
|  | unsigned char | green,
|  | unsigned char | blue )

Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).

## ◆ SetMaskFromImage()

bool wxImage::SetMaskFromImage | ( | const wxImage & | mask,
|  | unsigned char | mr,
|  | unsigned char | mg,
|  | unsigned char | mb )

Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of mr,mg,mb in mask will be masked in the image.

This is done by first finding an unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel in mask has given RGB value.

The parameter mask is the mask image to extract mask shape from. It must have the same dimensions as the image.

The parameters mr, mg, mb are the RGB values of the pixels in mask that will be used to create the mask.

Returns
  Returns false if mask does not have same dimensions as the image or if there is no unused colour left. Returns true if the mask was successfully applied.

Note
  Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is a computationally intensive operation.

## ◆ SetOption() [1/2]

void wxImage::SetOption | ( | const wxString & | name,
|  | const wxString & | value )

Sets a user-defined option.

The function is case-insensitive to name.

For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option quality is used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

The lists of the currently supported options are in GetOption() and GetOptionInt() function docs.

See also
  GetOption(), GetOptionInt(), HasOption()

## ◆ SetOption() [2/2]

void wxImage::SetOption | ( | const wxString & | name,
|  | int | value )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

## ◆ SetPalette()

void wxImage::SetPalette | ( | const wxPalette & | palette | ) |

Associates a palette with the image.

The palette may be used when converting wxImage to wxBitmap (MSW only at present) or in file save operations (none as yet).

## ◆ SetRGB() [1/2]

void wxImage::SetRGB | ( | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | unsigned char | red,
|  | unsigned char | green,
|  | unsigned char | blue )

Sets the colour of the pixels within the given rectangle.

This routine performs bounds-checks for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the data.

## ◆ SetRGB() [2/2]

void wxImage::SetRGB | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | unsigned char | r,
|  | unsigned char | g,
|  | unsigned char | b )

Set the color of the pixel at the given x and y coordinate.

## ◆ SetType()

void wxImage::SetType | ( | wxBitmapType | type | ) |

Set the type of image returned by GetType().

This method is mostly used internally by the library but can also be called from the user code if the image was created from data in the given bitmap format without using LoadFile() (which would set the type correctly automatically).

Notice that the image must be created before this function is called.

Since
  2.9.0

Parameters

  type | One of bitmap type constants, `wxBITMAP_TYPE_INVALID` is a valid value for it and can be used to reset the bitmap type to default but `wxBITMAP_TYPE_MAX` is not allowed here.

## ◆ Size()

wxImage wxImage::Size | ( | const wxSize & | size,
|  | const wxPoint & | pos,
|  | int | red = -1,
|  | int | green = -1,
|  | int | blue = -1 ) const

Returns a resized version of this image without scaling it by adding either a border with the given colour or cropping as necessary.

The image is pasted into a new image with the given size and background colour at the position pos relative to the upper left of the new image.

If red = green = blue = -1 then the areas of the larger image not covered by this image are made transparent by filling them with the image mask colour (which will be allocated automatically if it isn't currently set).

Otherwise, the areas will be filled with the colour with the specified RGB components.
