Defined By: Bitmap

Description:

Initializes a Bitmap object that is being created from scratch using the low-level read routines.

Declaration:

Sub InitImage(ByVal width As Long, ByVal height As Long, ByVal depth As Long, ByVal ctabType As Long, ByVal ctabEntries As Long, ByVal bType As Long, ByVal bitsToAlloc As Long)

Details:

The description of the Bitmap includes the:

Width and height in pixels

The depth of the Bitmap in bits (1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32)

The type of Colormap to use (see the Mode property for a description of enum values).

The number of entries in the Colormap.

The bType argument is used to specify any type of bitmap compression that is supported (see Compression property for a description of enum values). The last value is ‘bitsToAlloc,’ which specifies how many bytes of storage to allocate for the bitmap. Specifying a value of 0 will allow InitImage to compute how much is needed.
