+ * @brief Create an initialized ImageView from an Image resource URL
+ *
+ * If the string is empty, ImageView will not display anything.

+ * @since DALi 1.1.10
+ *
+ * @param[in] url The url of the image resource to display.
+ * @param [in] size The width and height to fit the loaded image to.
+ * @return A handle to a newly allocated ImageView.
+ *
+ * @note A valid size is preferable for efficiency.
+ * However, do not set a size that is bigger than the actual image size, as up-scaling is not available.
+ * The content of the area not covered by the actual image is undefined and will not be cleared.
