/// User-defined image source to display custom images on a web-page.
///
/// This API allows you to composite your own images into a web-page. This is useful for displaying
/// in-game textures, external image assets, or other custom content.
///
/// ## ImageSource File Format
///
/// To use an ImageSource, you must first create an `.imgsrc` file containing a string identifying
/// the image source. This string will be used to lookup the ImageSource from ImageSourceProvider
/// when it is loaded on a web-page.
///
/// The file format is as follows:
///
/// ```
/// IMGSRC-V1
/// <identifier>
/// ```
///
/// You can use the `.imgsrc` file anywhere in your web-page that typically accepts an image URL.
/// For example:
///
/// ```html
/// <img src="my_custom_image.imgsrc" />
/// ```
///
/// ## Creating from a GPU Texture
///
/// To composite your own GPU texture on a web-page, you should first reserve a texture ID from
/// GPUDriver::NextTextureId() and then create an ImageSource from that texture ID. Next, you should
/// register the ImageSource with ImageSourceProvider using the identifier from the `.imgsrc` file.
///
/// When the image element is drawn on the web-page, the library will draw geometry using the
/// specified texture ID and UV coordinates. You should bind your own texture when the specified
/// texture ID is used.
///
/// @note If the GPU renderer is not enabled for the View or pixel data is needed for other
///        purposes, the library will sample the backing bitmap instead.
///
/// ## Creating from a Bitmap
///
/// To composite your own bitmap on a web-page, you should create an ImageSource from a Bitmap.
/// Next, you should register the ImageSource with ImageSourceProvider using the identifier from
/// the `.imgsrc` file.
///
/// When the image element is drawn on the web-page, the library will sample this bitmap directly.
///
/// ## Invalidating Images
///
/// If you modify the texture or bitmap pixels after creating the ImageSource, you should call
/// ImageSource::Invalidate() to notify the library that the image should be redrawn.
///

  ///                 purposes. You should update this bitmap when the texture changes.
