The image teachpack provides a number of basic image construction functions, along with
combinators for building more complex images out of existing images. Basic images include
various polygons, ellipses and circles, and text, as well as bitmaps (typically bitmaps
come about via the @onscreen{Insert Image...} menu item in DrRacket).

documentation, a @defterm{bitmap} denotes a special form of
@racket[image?], namely a collection of pixels associated with an image. It
does not refer to the @racket[bitmap%] class. Typically such image-bitmaps
come about via the @onscreen{Insert Image...} menu item in DrRacket}
Existing images can be rotated, scaled, flipped, and overlaid on top of each other.
