31 * #PurpleImage object is a container for raw image data. It doesn't manipulate
32 * image data, just stores it in its binary format - png, jpeg etc. Thus, it's
33 * totally independent from the UI.
35 * This class also provides certain file-related features, like: friendly
36 * filenames (not necessarily real filename for displaying); remote images
37 * (which data is not yet loaded) or guessing file format from its header.
