Steve:
SetBitmap works, as in:
$frame->{bmp} = Wx::Bitmap->new("dwf.png", wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
$frame->{sbm}->SetBitmap($frame->{bmp});
Where $frame->{sbm} is a Static Bitmap.
When I create a new bitmap assigned to $frame->{sbm}, is the system
reclaiming the memory used by the old bitmap?
I saw in the wxWidgets docs that there is a Bitmap method newFromPNGData
that appears to not be wrapped. This would be useful if it would bypass the
need to write/read to/from disk everytime the PNG file changes.
Thanks again for your responses.
