};

Constants

MemoryType_1bpp

Monochrome image (1 bit per pixel), and palette (which must be specified) contains up to 2 entries. Each bit in the image array represents a pixel.

MemoryType_4bpp

The image has a maximum of 16 colors, and palette (which must be specified) contains up to 16 entries. Each pixel in the image is represented by a 4-bit index within the palette.

MemoryType_8bpp

The image has a maximum of 256 colors, and palette (which must be specified) contains up to 256 entries. Each pixel in the image is represented by one byte, the value of which is an index within the palette.

MemoryType_16bpp

HighColor image (16 bits per pixel).

MemoryType_24bpp

TrueColor image (24 bits per pixel).

MemoryType_32bpp

DeepColor image (32 bits per pixel).

MemoryType_4RLE

The same as MemoryType_4bpp, however the image data contained in the data array is compressed by the RLE method.

For this type of the image, if stride is negative, data represents a vertically flipped image (such as in a BMP file), otherwise it represents a normally oriented image.

MemoryType_8RLE

The same as MemoryType_8bpp, but the image data contained in the data array is compressed by the RLE method.

For this type of the image, if stride is negative, data represents a vertically flipped image (such as in a BMP file) otherwise it represents a normally oriented image.
