Bitmaps

For some widgets you need to specify one or more bitmaps. There are several options how to do this:

• from a bitmap file
• from a named variable: statement “var:”
• empty bitmap: statement “empty:”
• from wxArtProvider: statement “art:”
• from literal code: statement “code:”

From Bitmap File / Path

Specify the absolute or relative path to the bitmap file.

For an absolute path, you may use the file dialog by clicking the button “…”.

Example	/usr/share/icons/application.png
Created code C++	wxBitmap("/usr/share/icons/application.png", wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY)

From named variable: Statement var

Syntax	var:<variable name>
Example	var:my_bitmap_path
Created code C++	wxBitmap(my_bitmap_path, wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY)

Empty Bitmap: Statement empty

Creates an empty bitmap of the specified size (min. 1,1)

Syntax	empty:<width>,<height>
Example	empty:32,32
Created code C++	wx.EmptyBitmap(32, 32)
Python	wxBitmap(32, 32)

From wxArtProvider: Statement art

Create a bitmap using wxArtProvider.

See https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.ArtProvider.html for usage of wxArtProvider.

Syntax	art:<ArtID>,<ArtClient> or: art:<ArtID>,<ArtClient>,<width>,<height>
Example	art:wxART_GO_UP,wxART_OTHER,32,32
Created code Perl	Wx::ArtProvider::GetBitmap(wxART_GO_UP, wxART_OTHER, Wx::Size->new(32, 32))

From Code: Statement code

This just inserts the given code.

Syntax	code:<code chunk to return a wxBitmap>
Example	code:if (x == 0) get_bitmap1() else get_bitmap2();
Created code C++	if (x == 0) get_bitmap1() else get_bitmap2();
