/*! \class WRasterImage Wt/WRasterImage Wt/WRasterImage
 *  \brief A paint device for rendering to a raster image.
 *
 * A %WRasterImage paint device provides support for creating raster
 * images (such as PNG or GIF images).
 *
 * It implements two main use-cases:
 *
 *  - When used either in conjunction with a WPainter, it supports
 *    vector graphics operations, and can be used to make a PNG or GIF
 *    version of a WPaintedWidget's contents.
 *
 *  - It also provides a low-level API to color individual pixels using
 *    setPixel(), which directly sets the raster pixels.
 *
 * The rendering is provided by <a
 * href="http://www.graphicsmagick.org/">GraphicsMagick</a>, and this
 * class is included in the library only if <tt>libgraphicsmagick</tt>
 * was found during the build of the library. If %Wt is built to use
 * <tt>libpango</tt> for font support, then text rendering is done
 * using this library. Otherwise, you may want to configure TrueType
 * font search directories using addFontCollection().
 *
 * You can use the image as a resource and specialize handleRequest()
 * to paint the contents on the fly. Alternatively can also use
 * write() to serialize to an image file (std::ostream).
 *
 * The latter usage is illustrated by the code below:
 * \code
 * Wt::Chart::WCartesianChart *chart = ...
 *
 * Wt::WRasterImage pngImage("png", 600, 400);
 * {
 *   Wt::WPainter p(&pngImage);
 *   chart->paint(p);
 * }
 * std::ofstream f("chart.png", std::ios::out | std::ios::binary);
 * pngImage.write(f);
 * \endcode
 *
 * This paint device has the following limitations:
 * - drop shadows are (not yet?) supported.
 * 
 * \ingroup painting

   * 
   * If %Wt has not been configured to use <tt>libpango</tt>, then
   * this method may be used to indicate the location of true type
   * fonts. The main drawback compared to libpango is that font
   * selection is not steered by the need for particular characters,
   * i.e. font selection is independent from the text's need for
   * specific characters. Most truetype fonts provided only partial
   * unicode support. The provided \p directory will be searched for
   * fonts (currently only TrueType ".ttf" or ".ttc" fonts).
