CreateEmptyDIBByMMAndDPI

#include "BIDIB.H"

 

HANDLE CALLBACK CreateEmptyDIBByMMAndDPI(SIZE lImageSizeInMM, LONG lXRes, LONG lYRes, BYTE byBitCount, BOOL bIsWhite)

Description

This function creates an empty DIB. The DIB created can be 1, 8 or 24 bit per pixel. The DIB can be all white or all black depending on the last parameter. If you create a monochrome DIB the first item in the palette will be the black and the second item will be the white color. If you create an 8 bit per pixel DIB, the palette will contain 256 items in the palette. In this case the the first item in the palette will be (255, 255, 255), and the others will be zero.

Parameters

SIZE

lImageSizeInMM

Size of the DIB in millimeter. These values must be greater than 0.

LONG

lXRes

Horizontal resolution. This value must be between 50 and 9999.

LONG

lYRes

Vertical resolution. This value must be between 50 and 9999.

BYTE

byBitCount

Specifies the bitcount. This value is 1, 8 or 24.

BOOL

bIsWhite

If TRUE, the DIB will be white, otherwise FALSE.

Return values

Handle to the empty DIB created or NULL on error.

Programming notes

You can creates empty bitmap programatically for further use. For example you can put annotations or barcodes on it.
