hdc (HDC) - input

Device context handle.

pInfoHd (PBITMAPINFOHEADER) - input

Pointer to BITMAPINFOHEADER or BITMAPINFOHEADER2 structure for new bit map.

Pointer to either a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure:

cbFix

Length in bytes of this structure
cx
Bit-map width
cy
Bit-map height
cPlanes
Number of color planes, 1 if standard format
cBitCount
Number of adjacent color bits per pel
Each plane has ((cx*cBitCount+31)/32*4*cy) bytes.

Or pointer to a BITMAPINFOHEADER2 structure:

cbFix

Length in bytes of this structure.
cx
Bit-map width.
cy
Bit-map height.
cPlanes
Number of color planes, 1 if standard format.
cBitCount
Number of adjacent color bits per pel.
ulCompression
Compression scheme used to store the bit map:

BCA_UNCOMP

Bit map is uncompressed (the only valid value).
cbImage
Length of bit-map storage data in bytes. If the bit map is uncompressed, 0 (default) can be specified for this.
cxResolution
Horizontal component of the resolution of the target device; that is, the resolution of the device for which the bit map is intended in the units specified by usUnits. This information enables an application to select from a resource group the bit map that best matches the characteristics of the current output device.
cyResolution
Vertical component of the resolution of the target device; that is, the resolution of the device for which the bit map is intended in the units specified by usUnits. This information enables an application to select from a resource group the bit map that best matches the characteristics of the current output device.
cclrUsed
The number of color indexes from the color table that are used by the bit map. If it is 0 (default), all the indexes are used. If it is nonzero, only the first cclrUsed entries in the table are accessed by the system; further entries can be omitted.

For standard formats with a cBitCount of 1, 4, or 8 (and cPlanes=1), any indexes beyond cclrUsed are not valid. For example, a bit map with 64 colors can use the 8-bitcount format without having to supply the other 192 entries in the color table. For the 24-bitcount standard format, cclrUsed is the number of colors used by the bit map.

cclrImportant
Minimum number of color indexes for satisfactory appearance of the bit map. More colors can be used in the bit map. However, it is not necessary to assign them to the device palette. These additional colors can be mapped to the nearest colors available. Zero (default) means that all entries are mapped. For a 24-bitcount standard format, the cclrImportant colors are also listed in the color table relating to this bit map.
usUnits
Units of measure of the horizontal and vertical components of resolution:

BRU_METRIC

(Default) Pels per meter.
usReserved
Reserved field. If present, it must be 0.
usRecording
Recording algorithm, the format in which bit-map data is recorded:

BRA_BOTTOMUP

(Default) Scan lines are recorded from bottom to top.
usRendering
Halftoning algorithm used to record bit-map data that has been digitally halftoned:

BRH_NOTHALFTONED

(Default) Bit-map data not halftoned.
BRH_ERRORDIFFUSION
Error diffusion or damped error diffusion algorithm
BRH_PANDA
Processing algorithm for noncoded document acquisition
BRH_SUPERCIRCLE
Super circle algorithm
cSize1
Size value 1. If BRH_ERRORDIFFUSION is specified in usRendering, cSize1 is the error damping as a percentage in the range 0 - 100. A value of 100% indicates no damping. A value of 0% indicates that any errors are not diffused.

If the BRH_PANDA or BRH_SUPERCIRCLE is specified, cSize1 is the x-dimension of the pattern used in pels.

cSize2
Size value 2. If BRH_ERRORDIFFUSION is specified in usRendering, this parameter is ignored. If the BRH_PANDA or BRH_SUPERCIRCLE is specified, cSize2 is the Y-dimension of the pattern used in pels.
ulColorEncoding
Color encoding:

BCE_RGB

(Default) Each element in the color array is an RGB2 data type.
ulIdentifier
Reserved for applications.

flUsage (ULONG) - input

Additional information, used when creating a new bit map. The only defined flag is:

CBM_INIT

When set, the pBitmap and paInfo parameters are used to initialize the newly created bit map. If this flag is not set, the bit map initialization is device dependent. It is assumed that sufficient data is supplied to initialize the whole bit map.

Other flags (16 - 31) can be used for special purposes known to be supported by a particular presentation driver.

pBitmap (PBYTE) - input

Pointer to bit-map initialization data, starting on a DWORD-aligned address. This data is stored in the order that the coordinates appear on a display screen, that is, the pel in the lower-left corner is the first in the bit map. Pels are scanned to the right and upward from that position. The bits of the first pel are stored beginning with the most significant bits of the first byte. The data for pels in each scan line is packed together tightly. However, all scan lines are padded at the end so that each one begins on a ULONG boundary. That is, 3 bytes of pel data will hold one 24-bit pel, three 8-bit pels, six 4-bit pels, or twenty-four 1-bit pels. If those 3 bytes are the only pel data for that scan line, 1 more byte of zeros would be required to pad the line to a ULONG boundary.

paInfo (PBITMAPINFO) - input

Pointer to BITMAPINFO or BITMAPINFO2 structure for initialization data.

Pointer to either a BITMAPINFO structure:

cbFix

Length of structure
cx
Bit-map width
cy
