Image datatype.
</brief_description>
<description>
- Native image datatype. Contains image data, which can be converted to a [Texture2D], and several functions to interact with it. The maximum width and height for an [Image] are [constant MAX_WIDTH] and [constant MAX_HEIGHT].
- [b]Note:[/b] The maximum image size is 16384×16384 pixels due to graphics hardware limitations. Larger images will fail to import.

+ An [Image] cannot be assigned to a [code]texture[/code] property of an object directly (such as [Sprite2D]), and has to be converted manually to an [ImageTexture] first.
