WmfCompression

WmfCompression enumeration

The Compression Enumeration specifies the type of compression for a bitmap image

public enum WmfCompression

Values

NameValueDescription
BI_RGB0The bitmap is in uncompressed red green blue (RGB) format that is not compressed and does not use color masks.
BI_RLE81An RGB format that uses run-length encoding (RLE) compression for bitmaps with 8 bits per pixel. The compression uses a 2-byte format consisting of a count byte followed by a byte containing a color index.
BI_RLE42An RGB format that uses RLE compression for bitmaps with 4 bits per pixel. The compression uses a 2-byte format consisting of a count byte followed by two word-length color indexes
BI_BITFIELDS3The bitmap is not compressed and the color table consists of three DWORD color masks that specify the red, green, and blue components, respectively, of each pixel. This is valid when used with 16 and 32-bits per pixel bitmaps.
BI_JPEG4The image is a JPEG image, as specified in [JFIF]. This value SHOULD only be used in certain bitmap operations, such as JPEG pass-through. The application MUST query for the pass-through support, since not all devices support JPEG pass-through. Using non-RGB bitmaps MAY limit the portability of the metafile to other devices. For instance, display device contexts generally do not support this pass-through
BI_PNG5The image is a PNG image, as specified in [RFC2083]. This value SHOULD only be used certain bitmap operations, such as JPEG/PNG pass-through. The application MUST query for the pass-through support, because not all devices support JPEG/PNG pass-through. Using non-RGB bitmaps MAY limit the portability of the metafile to other devices. For instance, display device contexts generally do not support this pass-through.
BI_CMYK11The image is an uncompressed CMYK format.
BI_CMYKRLE812A CMYK format that uses RLE compression for bitmaps with 8 bits per pixel. The compression uses a 2-byte format consisting of a count byte followed by a byte containing a color index.
BI_CMYKRLE413A CMYK format that uses RLE compression for bitmaps with 4 bits per pixel. The compression uses a 2-byte format consisting of a count byte followed by two word-length color indexes.
