title: Loading a static Bitmap
body: <p>how can I load a simple, static image (Bitmap) into my panel? I just want to define the position of the image, nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>This runs without error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bmp = wx.Image('pics/default.bmp', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP).ConvertToBitmap()
  wx.StaticBitmap(self.panel, -1, bmp, (500, 500))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But instead of my image (default.bmp) there is just a small, black square (but at least at the correct position)</p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  This works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    self.picture = wx.StaticBitmap(self.panel,size=(200,300),pos=(500,500))
      self.picture.SetBitmap(wx.Bitmap('pics/default.bmp'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem was that I had to add the size of my StaticBitmap.</p>
