BITMAPCOREHEADER

This structure contains information about the dimensions and color format of a device-independent bitmap (DIB).

typedef struct  tagBITMAPCOREHEADER { 
DWORD bcSize; 
WORD bcWidth; 
WORD bcHeight; 
WORD bcPlanes; 
WORD bcBitCount; 
} BITMAPCOREHEADER;

Members

  • bcSize
    Specifies the number of bytes required by the structure
  • bcWidth
    Specifies the width of the bitmap, in pixels
  • bcHeight
    Specifies the height of the bitmap, in pixels
  • bcPlanes
    Specifies the number of planes for the target device. This value must be 1.
  • bcBitCount
    Specifies the number of bits per pixel. This value must be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 24.

Remarks

The BITMAPCOREINFO structure combines the BITMAPCOREHEADER structure and a color table to provide a complete definition of DIB dimensions and colors. For more information about specifying a DIB, see BITMAPCOREINFO.

An application should use the information stored in the bcSize member to locate the color table in a BITMAPCOREINFO structure. The following code sample shows how to locate the color table.

pColor = ((LPBYTE) pBitmapCoreInfo +
        (WORD) (pBitmapCoreInfo -> bcSize))

Requirements
