Just a comment on this Bitmap issue, in terms of class structure and organization.
I understand the Factory Pattern usage and concept, since I have used it before. But why are some of these "factory" methods (static methods that know how to create Bitmaps) inside Bitmap class, and others inside class BitmapFactory ? If the Factory Pattern is being used, then shouldn't they all be in the same place !? This generates confusion, in my opinion. .
