 Windows bitmap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bitmap Header: stores general information about the bitmap file.
.BMP or.DIB (device-independent bitmap) is a bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform.
A 32-bit version with integrated alpha channel has been introduced with Windows XP and is used within its logon and theme system; it has yet to gain wide support in image editing software.

 Microsoft Windows Bitmap: Summary from the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats
The file header is followed by a second header (called the bitmap header), a variable-sized palette, and the bitmap data.
The Microsoft Windows Bitmap (BMP) file format is one of several graphics file formats supported by the Microsoft Windows operating environment.
The file header is also followed by a bitmap header, which is an expanded version of the v3.

 Bitmap Format (.bmp)
If the bitmap is a packed bitmap (that is, a bitmap in which the bitmap array immediately follows the BITMAPINFO header and which is referenced by a single pointer), the biClrUsed member must be set to zero or to the actual size of the color table.
As with the bitmap bits in a bitmap file, the bitmap data in a cursor-resource file is organized in scan lines, with each byte representing one or more pixels, as defined by the color format.
As with the bitmap bits in a bitmap file, the bitmap data in an icon-resource file is organized in scan lines, with each byte representing one or more pixels, as defined by the color format.

 Bitmap Basics - A GDI tutorial
This type of bitmap is defined in the windows header files as a number of structs that are filled in by the programmer.
The designers of Windows decided that it would be nice to have a single way of drawing to all "things", and thus developed GDI as a universal set of routines that can be used to draw onto a screen, printer, plotter or bitmap image in memory.
Bitmap resources, and bitmap files on disk, are stored in the windows DIB format.

 GraphApp Tech Report: MS-Windows Transparency
Bitmaps which have transparent pixels, otherwise known as clipmasked bitmaps, or bitmaps with bi-level transparency information, are useful constructs.
The way to achieve transparent pixels in a Bitmap in MS-Windows is to perceive that with 256 ROP codes, it is possible to use a 1 bit per pixel bitmap to make pixels on a destination bitmap have a colour defined by a pattern.
Rather, it is encapsulated behind the interface of the Bitmap object itself and the drawing operations.

 GFF Format Summary: Microsoft Windows Metafile
Bitmap data stored in a WMF file may be stored in the form of a Microsoft Device Dependent Bitmap (DDB), or Device Independent Bitmap (DIB).
In the Window environment these commands are interpreted and played back on an output device using the Windows API PlayMetaFile() function.
Placeable metafiles (Figure Microsoft Windows Metafile-2) are WMF files with an 18-byte header prepended.

 Bitmaps and icons overview
This enables the bitmap to be copied to a window or memory device context using wxDC::Blit, or to be used as a drawing surface.
The alternative is to use the string version of the bitmap constructor, which loads a file under Unix and a resource or file under Windows, but has the disadvantage of requiring the XPM icon file to be available at run-time.
The wxToolBarSimple class is implemented using bitmaps, and the toolbar demo shows one of the toolbar bitmaps being used for drawing a miniature version of the graphic which appears on the main window.

 WPDOS - How to Display the Euro in MS-DOS and Windows DOS
The FON files were modified in the shareware bitmap font editor Softy, by the late Dave Emmett (a third-party user's guide is available); Windows, however, refused to use the resulting patched files as replacements for the original files.
The Windows 2000/XP EGA.CPI file was modified by using Matthias Paul's CPI program and BreakPoint Software's Hex Workshop.
Windows 98, 2000, and later versions have euro support built-in, but this support, with minor exceptions, does not extend to DOS windows, full-screen DOS, or even to the DOS-like "command window" in Windows NT, 2000, and XP.

 Java Tip 43: How to read 8- and 24-bit Microsoft Windows bitmaps in Java applications
Regardless of the Windows DIB sub-type, the file format always consists of a 14-byte file header and a 40-byte information header.
The compressed Windows DIB format is documented in the Windows SDK.
The Windows DIB (Device-Independent Bitmap) file format is relatively straightforward.

 The .bmp file format
The start-value is the position of the byte in the file at which the explained data element of the structure starts, the size-value contains the nuber of bytes used by this data element, the name-value is the name assigned to this data element by the Microsoft API documentation.
The.bmp file format (sometimes also saved as.dib) is the standard for a Windows 3.0 or later DIB(device independent bitmap) file.
However, you can animate a bitmap using different methods but you have to write the code which performs the animation.

 Companion Software - Windows Metafile FAQ
The Windows bitmap format does not support the idea of transparency.
In Windows, these are typically saved in a BMP file.
The best reason to do this is because, as of this writing, most Windows programs support WMF files and don't support EMF files.

I found no way to convert Macintosh or Windows bitmap fonts to the Atari.fnt font file format (and yes, there are still Atarians working with much better software than you'll probably guess), but I found a font called ProFontJB, made by Jens Brüggemann, which comes close.

 Bitmap (Microsoft Windows Bitmap)
Bitmap is a home Windows raster format, which is used practically for all possible raster data storage.
Compression algorithm, used in BMP format, is one of the RLE run-length encoding variants (read more about RLE compression algorithm here).
The current format version is device independable (that means that Bitmap determines the pixel's color without reference to display device) and makes possible to record images of a different quality level (to the point of 32 bits).
