Bit-map information structure.

Each bit plane logically contains (cx * cy * cBitCount) bits, although the actual length can be greater because of padding.

Note: Many functions can accept either this structure or the BITMAPINFO structure. Where possible, BITMAPINFO2 should be used.

The cbFix field is used to find the color table, if any, that goes with the information in this structure. A color table is an array of color (RGB2) values. If there are N bits per pel (N = cPlanes * cBitCount), the array contains 2**N color values. However, if N = 24, the color table is not required (because the standard-format bit map, with 24 bits per pel, is assumed to contain RGB values), unless either cclrUsed or cclrImportant is non-zero.
