NAME

       Prima::StdBitmap - shared access to the standard toolkit bitmaps

DESCRIPTION

       The toolkit contains sysimage.gif image library, which consists of a predefined set of images, used in
       several toolkit modules. To provide a unified access to the images this module can be used. The images
       are assigned a "sbmp::" constant, which is used as an index on a load request. If loaded successfully,
       images are cached and the successive requests return the cached values.

       The images can be loaded as "Prima::Image" and "Prima::Icon" instances.  To discriminate, two methods are
       used, correspondingly "image" and "icon".

SYNOPSIS

               use Prima::StdBitmap;
               my $logo = Prima::StdBitmap::icon( sbmp::Logo );

API

   Methods
       icon INDEX
           Loads INDEXth image frame and returns "Prima::Icon" instance.

       image INDEX
           Loads INDEXth image frame and returns "Prima::Image" instance.

       load_std_bmp INDEX, AS_ICON, USE_CACHED_VALUE, IMAGE_FILE
           Loads  INDEXth  image  frame  from  IMAGE_FILE  and  returns  it  as  either a "Prima::Image" or as a
           "Prima::Icon" instance, depending on value of boolean AS_ICON flag. If USE_CACHED_VALUE boolean  flag
           is  set,  the cached images loaded previously can be used. If this flag is unset, the cached value is
           never used, and the created image is not stored in the cache. Since the module's intended use  is  to
           provide  shared  and  read-only access to the image library, USE_CACHED_VALUE set to 0 can be used to
           return non-shared images.

   Constants
       An index value passed to the methods must be one of "sbmp::" constants:

   Scalars
       $sysimage scalar is initialized to the file name to be used as a  source  of  standard  image  frames  by
       default. It is possible to alter this scalar at run-time, which causes all subsequent image frame request
       to be redirected to the new file.
