Hi !
I'm currently trying to do a BMP Loading procedure, but I don't manage to load others bitmaps than 24 bits ones, I would like to support 1, 4 and 8 bits also, but I'm unsure of how to do it

Does someone already tried that ?

you must check the header of the bmp and its depth and bitplanes... i think this would help you... first i would try to load 32 bit images too, as they are using A,R,G,B (alpha channel) too... good luck

Code: Select all

LoadImage(#Image, FileName$)

Obviously you did know I wanted to do it by myself, without PB's function

I manage to read the header, it's the pixel reading that I don't know how to do (for 1bit bitmaps)
