Images, Bitmaps, and Metafiles
The Image
class is an abstract base class that provides methods for working with raster images (bitmaps) and vector images (metafiles). The Bitmap
class and the Metafile class both inherit from the Image
class. The Bitmap
class expands on the capabilities of the Image
class by providing additional methods for loading, saving, and manipulating raster images. The Metafile class expands on the capabilities of the Image
class by providing additional methods for recording and examining vector images.
