GxPixelFormat

Description

The GxPixelFormat enumeration contains pixel formats of the bit image.

It is used by the following properties and methods:

Available Values

Value	Brief description
0	Unknown. Points format is undefined. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
15	Max. Maximum value of this enumeration. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
65536	Indexed. Points data contains the values of the indexed colors, that is, the value is the color index in the system table of colors as opposed to the color values. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
131072	Gdi. The points data contains the GDI colors. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
135173	Format16bppRgb555. The format reserves 16 bits for a point: red, green and blue channels have 5 bits each. The remained bit is not used.
135174	Format16bppRgb565. The format reserves 16 bits for a point: red and blue channels have 5 bits each, 6 bits are reserved for green channel.
137224	Format24bppRgb. The format reserves 24 bits for a point: red, green and blue channels have 8 bits each.
139273	Format32bppRgb. The format reserves 24 bits for a point: red, green and blue channels have 8 bits each. The remained 8 bits are not used.
196865	Format1bppIndexed. The format reserves 1 bit for a point; the indexed color is used. Therefore, the table of colors contains two colors.
197634	Format4bppIndexed. The format reserves 4 bits for a point. The colors are indexed.
198659	Format8bppIndexed. The format reserves 8 bit for a point. The colors are indexed. Therefore, the table of colors contains 256 colors.
262144	Alpha. Data points contains alfa values that are multiplied inversely (starting from the high-order bit). NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
397319	Format16bppArgb1555. Pixels format is 16 bits for a point. Color information determines 32 768 hues where 5 bits are reserved for red channel, 5 bits are reserved for green channel, 5 bits are reserved for blue channel and 1 bit is reserved for alfa channel.
524288	PAlpha. Points data contains alfa values multiplied inversely. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
925707	Format32bppPArgb. The format reserves 32 bits for a point: 8 bits for red, green and blue channels and also for alfa channel. Red, green and blue channels are multiplied inversely regarding alfa channel.
1052676	Format16bppGrayScale. Pixels format is 16 bits for a point. Color data supports 65 536 hues of gray color.
1060876	Format48bppRgb. The format reserves 48 bits for a pixel: 16 bits for red, green and blue channels.
1851406	Format64bppPArgb. The format reserves 24 bits for a point: 16 bits for red, greed and blue channels and also for alfa channel. Red, green and blue channels are multiplied inversely regarding alfa channel.
2097152	Canonical. By default, the pixel format reserves 32 bits for a point. This format sets 24-bit color depth and 8-bit alfa channel. NOTE. The value cannot be used in the application code. It is kept to be compatible with previous versions.
2498570	Format32bppArgb. The format reserves 32 bits for a point: 8 bits for red, green and blue channels and also for alfa channel.
3424269	Format64bppArgb. The format reserves 64 for a pixel: 16 bits for red, green and blue channels and also for alfa channel.

Comments

To avoid further problems in displaying background of created images, it is recommended to use Format24bppRgb for images saved in *.BMP, and Format32bppArgb for images saved in *.PNG.
