NAME

       wxImage - Functions for wxImage class

DESCRIPTION

       This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.

       An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap:convertToImage/1. 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/4.

       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 getAlpha/3 you  should
       check  if  this  image  contains  an alpha channel with hasAlpha/1. 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 setAlpha/4, 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 (not implemented in wx)  or  call
       ?wxInitAllImageHandlers().

       When  saving  in  PCX  format,  wxPCXHandler  (not  implemented in wx) 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 (not
       implemented in wx) will always save as raw RGB.

       Saving GIFs requires images of maximum 8 bpp (see wxQuantize (not implemented  in  wx)),  and  the  alpha
       channel  converted  to  a  mask (see convertAlphaToMask/5). Saving an animated GIF requires images of the
       same size (see wxGIFHandler::SaveAnimation (not implemented in wx))

                 Option = {clear, boolean()}

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

       new(Width, Height, Data) -> wxImage()

       new(Width, Height, Data :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

       new(Name, Mimetype, Data :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 Sz = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Data = Alpha = binary()

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

       new(Width, Height, Data, Alpha) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 Width = Height = integer()
                 Data = Alpha = binary()

              Creates an image from data in memory.

              If static_data is false then the wxImage will take ownership of the data and free  it  afterwards.
              For this, it has to be allocated with malloc.

       destroy(This :: wxImage()) -> ok

              Destructor.

              See reference-counted object destruction for more info.

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 BlurRadius = integer()

              Blurs the image in both horizontal and vertical directions by the specified pixel blurRadius.

              This should not be used when using a single mask colour for transparency.

              See: blurHorizontal/2, blurVertical/2

       blurHorizontal(This, BlurRadius) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 BlurRadius = integer()

              Blurs the image in the horizontal direction only.

              This should not be used when using a single mask colour for transparency.

              See: blur/2, blurVertical/2

       blurVertical(This, BlurRadius) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 BlurRadius = integer()

              Blurs the image in the vertical direction only.

              This should not be used when using a single mask colour for transparency.

              See: blur/2, blurHorizontal/2

       convertAlphaToMask(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

       convertAlphaToMask(This, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Option = {threshold, integer()}

              If the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask.

              If  the  image  has an alpha channel, all pixels with alpha value less than threshold are replaced
              with the mask colour and the alpha channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.

              The mask colour is chosen automatically using findFirstUnusedColour/2, see the overload  below  if
              this is not appropriate.

              Return: Returns true on success, false on error.

       convertAlphaToMask(This, Mr, Mg, Mb) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Mr = Mg = Mb = integer()

       convertAlphaToMask(This, Mr, Mg, Mb, Options :: [Option]) ->
                             boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Mr = Mg = Mb = integer()
                 Option = {threshold, integer()}

              If  the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask using the specified colour as the
              mask colour.

              If the image has an alpha channel, all pixels with alpha value less than  threshold  are  replaced
              with the mask colour and the alpha channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.

              Since: 2.9.0

              Return: Returns true on success, false on error.

       convertToGreyscale(This) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Returns a greyscale version of the image.

              Since: 2.9.0

       convertToGreyscale(This, Weight_r, Weight_g, Weight_b) ->
                             wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Weight_r = Weight_g = Weight_b = number()

              Returns a greyscale version of the image.

              The  returned  image  uses  the  luminance  component  of the original to calculate the greyscale.
              Defaults to using the standard ITU-T BT.601 when converting to YUV, where every pixel equals (R  *
              weight_r) + (G * weight_g) + (B * weight_b).

       convertToMono(This, R, G, B) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 R = G = B = integer()

              Returns monochromatic version of the image.

              The  returned  image  has  white  colour  where  the  original has (r,g,b) colour and black colour
              everywhere else.

       copy(This) -> wxImage()

              Types:

       create(This, Sz, Height :: [Option]) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Sz = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Option = {clear, boolean()}

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

       create(This, Width, Height, Data) -> boolean()

       create(This, Width, Height, Data :: [Option]) -> boolean()

       create(This, Sz, Data, Alpha) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Sz = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Data = Alpha = binary()

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

       create(This, Width, Height, Data, Alpha) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Width = Height = integer()
                 Data = Alpha = binary()

              Creates a fresh image.

              See new/4 for more info.

              Return: true if the call succeeded, false otherwise.

       'Destroy'(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Destroys the image data.

       findFirstUnusedColour(This) -> Result

              Types:

                 Result =
                     {Res :: boolean(),
                      R :: integer(),
                      G :: integer(),
                      B :: integer()}
                 This = wxImage()

       findFirstUnusedColour(This, Options :: [Option]) -> Result

              Types:

                 Result =
                     {Res :: boolean(),
                      R :: integer(),
                      G :: integer(),
                      B :: integer()}
                 This = wxImage()
                 Option =
                     {startR, integer()} |
                     {startG, integer()} |
                     {startB, integer()}

              Finds the first colour that is never used in the image.

              The search begins at given initial colour and continues by increasing R, G and  B  components  (in
              this order) by 1 until an unused colour is found or the colour space exhausted.

              The parameters r, g, b are pointers to variables to save the colour.

              The parameters startR, startG, startB define the initial values of the colour. The returned colour
              will have RGB values equal to or greater than these.

              Return: Returns false if there is no unused colour left, true on success.

              Note:  This  method  involves  computing  the  histogram,  which  is  a  computationally intensive
              operation.

       getImageExtWildcard() -> unicode:charlist()

              Iterates all registered wxImageHandler (not implemented in  wx)  objects,  and  returns  a  string
              containing file extension masks suitable for passing to file open/save dialog boxes.

              Return: The format of the returned string is "(*.ext1;*.ext2)|*.ext1;*.ext2". It is usually a good
              idea to prepend a description before passing the result to the dialog. Example:

              See: wxImageHandler (not implemented in wx)

       getAlpha(This) -> binary()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Returns pointer to the array storing the alpha values for this image.

              This  pointer  is  NULL  for the images without the alpha channel. If the image does have it, this
              pointer may be used to directly manipulate the alpha values which are stored as the RGB ones.

       getAlpha(This, X, Y) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = integer()

              Return alpha value at given pixel location.

       getBlue(This, X, Y) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = integer()

              Returns the blue intensity at the given coordinate.

       getData(This) -> binary()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Returns the image data as an array.

              This is most often used when doing direct image manipulation. The return value points to an  array
              of  characters in RGBRGBRGB... format in the top-to-bottom, left-to-right order, that is the first
              RGB triplet corresponds to the first pixel of the first row, the second one - to the second  pixel
              of  the first row and so on until the end of the first row, with second row following after it and
              so on.

              You should not delete the returned pointer nor pass it to setData/4.

       getGreen(This, X, Y) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = integer()

              Returns the green intensity at the given coordinate.

       getImageCount(Filename) -> integer()

              Types:

                 Filename = unicode:chardata()

       getImageCount(Filename, Options :: [Option]) -> integer()

              Types:

                 Filename = unicode:chardata()
                 Option = {type, wx:wx_enum()}

              If the image file contains more than one image and the image  handler  is  capable  of  retrieving
              these individually, this function will return the number of available images.

              For  the  overload  taking  the  parameter filename, that's the name of the file to query. For the
              overload taking the parameter stream, that's the opened input stream with image data.

              See wxImageHandler::GetImageCount() (not implemented in wx) for more info.

              The parameter type may be one of the following values:

              Return: Number of available images. For most image handlers, this is 1 (exceptions  are  TIFF  and
              ICO  formats  as well as animated GIFs for which this function returns the number of frames in the
              animation).

       getHeight(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Gets the height of the image in pixels.

              See: getWidth/1, GetSize() (not implemented in wx)

       getMaskBlue(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Gets the blue value of the mask colour.

       getMaskGreen(This) -> integer()

              Types:

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Gets the red value of the mask colour.

       getOrFindMaskColour(This) -> Result

              Types:

                 Result =
                     {Res :: boolean(),
                      R :: integer(),
                      G :: integer(),
                      B :: integer()}
                 This = wxImage()

              Get the current mask colour or find a suitable unused colour that could be used as a mask colour.

              Returns true if the image currently has a mask.

       getPalette(This) -> wxPalette:wxPalette()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Returns the palette associated with the image.

              Currently the palette is only used when converting to wxBitmap under Windows.

              Some of the wxImage handlers have been modified to set the palette if one exists in the image file
              (usually 256 or less colour images in GIF or PNG format).

       getRed(This, X, Y) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = integer()

              Returns the red intensity at the given coordinate.

                 This = wxImage()
                 Rect =
                     {X :: integer(),
                      Y :: integer(),
                      W :: integer(),
                      H :: integer()}

              Returns a sub image of the current one as long as the rect belongs entirely to the image.

       getWidth(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Gets the width of the image in pixels.

              See: getHeight/1, GetSize() (not implemented in wx)

       hasAlpha(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Returns true if this image has alpha channel, false otherwise.

              See: getAlpha/3, setAlpha/4

       hasMask(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

       getOption(This, Name) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = unicode:chardata()

              Gets a user-defined string-valued option.

              Generic options:

              Options specific to wxGIFHandler (not implemented in wx):

              Return: The value of the option or an empty string if not  found.  Use  hasOption/2  if  an  empty
              string can be a valid option value.

              See: setOption/3, getOptionInt/2, hasOption/2

       getOptionInt(This, Name) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = unicode:chardata()

              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/2 if 0 is a possibly valid value for the option.

              Generic options:

              Since: 2.9.3

              Options specific to wxPNGHandler (not implemented in wx):

              Options specific to wxTIFFHandler (not implemented in wx):

              Options specific to wxGIFHandler (not implemented in wx):

              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.

              Return: The value of the option or 0 if not found. Use hasOption/2 if 0  can  be  a  valid  option
              value.

              See: setOption/3, getOption/2

       hasOption(This, Name) -> boolean()

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = unicode:chardata()

              Returns true if the given option is present.

              The function is case-insensitive to name.

              The lists of the currently supported options are in getOption/2 and getOptionInt/2 function docs.

       initAlpha(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

              Initializes the image alpha channel data.

              It  is  an error to call it if the image already has alpha data. If it doesn't, alpha data will be
              by default initialized to all pixels being fully opaque. But if the image has a mask  colour,  all
              mask pixels will be completely transparent.

       initStandardHandlers() -> ok

              Internal use only.

              Adds  standard  image  format  handlers. It only install wxBMPHandler for the time being, which is
              used by wxBitmap.

              This function is called by wxWidgets on startup, and shouldn't be called by the user.

              See:  wxImageHandler  (not  implemented  in  wx),   ?wxInitAllImageHandlers(),   wxQuantize   (not
              implemented in wx)

                 X = Y = integer()
                 Option = {threshold, integer()}

              Returns  true if the given pixel is transparent, i.e. either has the mask colour if this image has
              a mask or if this image has alpha channel and alpha value of this  pixel  is  strictly  less  than
              threshold.

                 This = wxImage()
                 Option = {horizontally, boolean()}

              Returns a mirrored copy of the image.

              The parameter horizontally indicates the orientation.

       replace(This, R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, B2) -> ok

              Types:

                 Width = Height = integer()

       rescale(This, Width, Height, Options :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 Width = Height = integer()
                 Option = {quality, wx:wx_enum()}

              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/4 function. Returns the (modified) image
              itself.

              See: scale/4

       resize(This, Size, Pos) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Size = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Pos = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

       resize(This, Size, Pos, Options :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

                 Option = {r, integer()} | {g, integer()} | {b, integer()}

              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.

              Return: The (modified) image itself.

              See: size/4

       rotate(This, Angle, RotationCentre) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Angle = number()
                 RotationCentre = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

       rotate(This, Angle, RotationCentre, Options :: [Option]) ->
                 wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Angle = number()
                 RotationCentre = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}
                 Option =
                     {interpolating, boolean()} |
                     {offset_after_rotation, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}}

              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.

       rotateHue(This, Angle) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Angle = number()

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

       rotate90(This) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

       rotate90(This, Options :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Option = {clockwise, boolean()}

              Returns a copy of the image rotated 90 degrees in the direction indicated by clockwise.

       saveFile(This, Name) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = unicode:chardata()

              Saves an image in the named file.

              File type is determined from the extension of the file name. Note that this function may  fail  if
              the  extension  is not recognized! You can use one of the forms above to save images to files with
              non-standard extensions.

       saveFile(This, Name, Type) -> boolean()

       saveFile(This, Name, Mimetype) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = Mimetype = unicode:chardata()

              Saves an image in the named file.

       scale(This, Width, Height) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Width = Height = integer()

       scale(This, Width, Height, Options :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Width = Height = integer()
                 Option = {quality, wx:wx_enum()}

              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:

              See: rescale/4

       size(This, Size, Pos) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Size = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Pos = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

       size(This, Size, Pos, Options :: [Option]) -> wxImage()

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Size = {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}
                 Pos = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}
                 Option = {r, integer()} | {g, integer()} | {b, integer()}

              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.

              See: resize/4

       setAlpha(This, Alpha) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Alpha = binary()

              This function is similar to setData/4 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.

       setAlpha(This, X, Y, Alpha) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = Alpha = integer()

              Sets the alpha value for the given pixel.

              This  function  should only be called if the image has alpha channel data, use hasAlpha/1 to check
              for this.

       setData(This, Data) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Data = binary()

              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/1.

       setData(This, Data, New_width, New_height) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Data = binary()
                 New_width = New_height = integer()

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

       setMask(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()

       setMask(This, Options :: [Option]) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Option = {mask, boolean()}

              Specifies whether there is a mask or not.

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

       setMaskColour(This, Red, Green, Blue) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Red = Green = Blue = integer()

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

       setMaskFromImage(This, Mask, Mr, Mg, Mb) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = Mask = wxImage()
                 Mr = Mg = Mb = integer()

              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.

              Return:  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(This, Name, Value) -> ok

       setOption(This, Name, Value) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Name = Value = unicode:chardata()

              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/2 and getOptionInt/2 function docs.

              See: getOption/2, getOptionInt/2, hasOption/2

       setPalette(This, Palette) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Palette = wxPalette:wxPalette()

              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(This, Rect, Red, Green, Blue) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 Rect =
                     {X :: integer(),
                      Y :: integer(),
                      W :: integer(),
                      H :: integer()}
                 Red = Green = Blue = integer()

              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(This, X, Y, R, G, B) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxImage()
                 X = Y = R = G = B = integer()

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