        if (!my_wxImage.SaveFile(stream))
            return;

        // now we can access the saved image bytes:

        if (theBuffer->Read(byte, 1) != 1)
            return;

        // ... do something with 'byte'...

        // remember that ~wxMemoryOutputStream will destroy the internal
        // buffer since we didn't provide our own when constructing it
    @endcode
