BITMAPINFOHEADER

Bit-map information header structure.

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

See also BITMAPINFOHEADER2, which is preferred.

typedef struct _BITMAPINFOHEADER {
 ULONG      cbFix;      /* Length of structure. */
 USHORT     cx;         /* Bit-map width in pels. */
 USHORT     cy;         /* Bit-map height in pels. */
 USHORT     cPlanes;    /* Number of bit planes. */
 USHORT     cBitCount;  /* Number of bits per pel within a plane. */
} BITMAPINFOHEADER;

typedef BITMAPINFOHEADER *PBITMAPINFOHEADER;
