## Detailed Description

This class encapsulates a monochrome mask bitmap, where the masked area is black and the unmasked area is white.

When associated with a bitmap and drawn in a device context, the unmasked area of the bitmap will be drawn, and the masked area will not be drawn.

Note
  A mask can be associated also with a bitmap with an alpha channel but drawing such bitmaps under wxMSW may be slow so using them should be avoided if drawing performance is an important factor.

Constructs a mask from a bitmap and a palette index that indicates the background.

Not implemented for GTK.

Parameters

  bitmap | A valid bitmap.
  index | Index into a palette, specifying the transparency colour.

| ) |  |

Constructs a mask from a bitmap and a colour that indicates the background.

## ◆ ~wxMask()

virtual wxMask::~wxMask | ( |  | ) |

virtual
