DibBitCount

DibBitCount enumeration

The BitCount Enumeration specifies the number of bits that define each pixel and the maximum number of colors in a device-independent bitmap (DIB).

public enum DibBitCount : short

Values

NameValueDescription
Bitcount00The number of bits per pixel is undefined. The image SHOULD be in either JPEG or PNG format. Neither of these formats includes a color table, so this value specifies that no color table is present. See [JFIF] and [RFC2083] for more information concerning JPEG and PNG compression formats.
Bitcount11The image is specified with two colors.Each pixel in the bitmap is represented by a single bit. If the bit is clear, the pixel is displayed with the color of the first entry in the color table; if the bit is set, the pixel has the color of the second entry in the table.
Bitcount24The image is specified with a maximum of 16 colors. Each pixel in the bitmap is represented by a 4-bit index into the color table, and each byte contains 2 pixels.
Bitcount38The image is specified with a maximum of 256 colors. Each pixel in the bitmap is represented by an 8-bit index into the color table, and each byte contains 1 pixel.
Bitcount416The image is specified with a maximum of 2^16 colors. Each pixel in the bitmap is represented by a 16-bit value
Bitcount524The bitmap has a maximum of 2^24 colors, and the Colors field of DIB is NULL. Each 3-byte triplet in the bitmap array represents the relative intensities of blue, green, and red, respectively, for a pixel. The Colors color table is used for optimizing colors used on palette-based devices, and MUST contain the number of entries specified by the ColorUsed field of the BitmapInfoHeader Object
Bitcount632The bitmap has a maximum of 2^24 colors
