41 * @brief An Image object represents an image resource that can be added to ImageViews.
43 * Image objects can be shared between ImageViews. This is practical if you have a visual element on screen
44 * which is repeatedly used. An example would be a button background image.
45 * The image resource is discarded when all ImageViews using the Image object are discarded.
47 * @note if a resource was shared between Image objects it exists until its last reference is gone.
49 * Image objects are responsible for the underlying resource's lifetime.

56 * @brief Resource management options.
60 * @brief ReleasePolicy controls the way images are deleted from memory.
62 * @remarks This is an experimental feature and might not be supported in the next release.
63 * We do recommend not to use it.

80 * @brief Constructor which creates an empty Image handle.
82 * Use @ref Image::New to create an initialised handle.
90 * This is non-virtual since derived Handle types must not contain data or virtual methods.
96 * @brief This copy constructor is required for (smart) pointer semantics.
99 * @param [in] handle A reference to the copied handle
101 Image(const Image& handle);

107 * @param [in] rhs A reference to the copied handle

113 * @brief Downcast a handle to Image handle.
115 * If handle points to a Image object the
116 * downcast produces valid handle. If not the returned handle is left uninitialized.
