pInfoHd (PBITMAPINFOHEADER) - input

Pointer to data structure.

Pointer to a BITMAPINFOHEADER or BITMAPINFOHEADER2 data structure that defines the new bit map.

The BITMAPINFOHEADER data structure contains the following fields:

cbFix

Length of this structure in bytes
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 Notice that each plane has ((cx*cBitCount+31)/32*4*cy) bytes.
The BITMAPINFOHEADER2 data structure contains the following fields:

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 the bit map is intended for 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 the bit map is intended for 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 (the 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 one, four, or eight (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 (the default) means that all entries are important. 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 application use
