+    Displays pixel frames pushed from Python at full bandwidth.
+
+    Unlike :class:`~flet.Image`, whose `src` travels through the regular
+    Flet protocol on every update, `RawImage` streams frames over a
+    dedicated :class:`~flet.DataChannel`: bytes skip MsgPack
+    encode/decode entirely and, on local transports (desktop app, `flet run`,
+    Pyodide), are displayed from raw RGBA pixels without any image
+    encoding or decoding. This makes it suitable for animations, generated
+    graphics, camera frames and Pillow output at interactive frame rates.
+
+    Frames are pushed with the awaitable :meth:`render`, :meth:`render_rgba`
+    and :meth:`render_encoded` methods. Each call resolves when the client
+    has actually displayed the frame, so a plain loop self-paces to display
+    speed:
+
+    ```python
+    raw_image = ft.RawImage(width=400, height=300)
+    page.add(raw_image)
+
+    while True:
+        await raw_image.render(produce_pil_image())
+    ```
+
+    Transport behavior is selected automatically:
+
+    - **Local transports** (`local_data_transport` connections): frames are
+      sent as uncompressed premultiplied RGBA8888 and uploaded straight to
+      a GPU texture on the client.
+    - **Remote transports** (`flet-web` over WebSocket): Pillow and NumPy
+      frames are PNG-encoded off the event loop to save bandwidth; raw
+      pixel frames for which no straight-alpha source is available are sent
+      uncompressed.
+
+    **Premultiplied alpha.** The raw-pixel path uploads frames directly as
+    GPU textures in Flutter's `rgba8888` format, which expects RGB values
+    already multiplied by alpha ("premultiplied"). Pillow, numpy code and
+    image files normally produce *straight* alpha instead, where color and
+    opacity are independent: a half-transparent white pixel is
+    `(255, 255, 255, 128)` straight but `(128, 128, 128, 128)`
+    premultiplied (each color channel becomes `value * alpha // 255`).
+    The `premultiplied` argument of the render methods says whether that
+    conversion is already done:
+
+    - `premultiplied=False` — pixels carry straight alpha; RGB is
+      multiplied by alpha before sending. The conversion runs in fast C
+      loops and is skipped when the frame turns out to be fully opaque.
+    - `premultiplied=True` — skip the conversion. Use it when pixels are
+      genuinely premultiplied or, the common case, when the frame is
+      **fully opaque**: with every alpha at 255 both forms are identical,
+      and declaring it saves an alpha scan per frame in streaming loops.
+
+    Passing straight-alpha pixels with `premultiplied=True` makes
+    semi-transparent areas render too bright; for fully opaque frames the
+    flag cannot be wrong either way.
+
+    The last frame is retained and replayed automatically when the client
+    widget remounts (page rebuild, route navigation), mirroring how
+    `Image.src` persists.
