</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">This document describes the Microsoft Windows and IBM OS/2 picture bitmap files, called Bitmaps or BMP files. Most of the descriptions of the BMP file concentrate on the Microsoft Windows BMP structures like </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=3>BMPINFOHEADER</FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3> and </FONT><FONT FACE="Courier New" SIZE=3>BMPCOREINFO</FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3> , but only a few describe the file contents on byte level. This information is therefor only intended to be used in applications where direct reading and writing of a BMP file is required.</P>
</FONT><B><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=6><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><A NAME="_Toc381201082">Bitmap File Format</A></P>
</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The following chapters contain the detailed information on the contents of the BMP file. First more general information will be given regarding the byte order and file alignment. The second chapter will concentrate on the byte-level contents of a BMP file. The third chapter will elaborate on this chapter and explain some of the concepts - like compression - and/or values in detail.</P>
</FONT><B><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=5><P><A NAME="_Toc381201083">General</A></P>
</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The BMP file has been created by Microsoft and IBM and is therefor very strictly bound to the architecture of the main hardware platform that both companies support: the IBM compatible PC. This means that all values stored in the BMP file are in the Intel format, sometimes also called the Little Endian format because of the byte order that an Intel processor uses internally to store values.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The BMP files are the way, Windows stores bit mapped images. The BMP image data is bit packed but every line must end on a dword boundary - if that�s not the case, it must be padded with zeroes. BMP files are stored bottom-up, that means that the first scan line is the bottom line. </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The BMP format has four incarnations, two under Windows (new and old) and two under OS/2, all are described here.</P>

</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Book Antiqua" SIZE=3><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The following table contains a description of the contents of the BMP file. For every field, the file offset, the length and the contents will be given. For a more detailed discussion, see the following chapters.</P>
