The BITMAPCOREHEADER structure contains information about the dimensions and color format of a device-independent bitmap that is compatible with Microsoft OS/2 Presentation Manager versions 1.1 and 1.2 bitmaps.
typedef struct tagBITMAPCOREHEADER {
DWORD bcSize;
WORD bcWidth;
WORD bcHeight;
WORD bcPlanes;
WORD bcBitCount;
} BITMAPCOREHEADER;
The BITMAPCOREHEADER structure has the following fields:
| Field | Description |
| bcSize | Specifies the number of bytes required by the BITMAPCOREHEADER 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 and must be set to 1. | |
| bcBitCount | Specifies the number of bits per pixel. This value must be 1, 4, 8, or 24. |
The BITMAPCOREINFO data structure combines the BITMAPCOREHEADER structure and a color table to provide a complete definition of the dimensions and colors of a device-independent bitmap. See the description of the BITMAPCOREINFO data structure for more information about specifying a device-independent bitmap.
An application should use the information stored in the bcSize field to locate the color table in a BITMAPCOREINFO data structure with a method such as the following:
pColor = ((LPSTR) pBitmapCoreInfo + (WORD) (pBitmapCoreInfo -> bcSize))
