These values are flags used to identify the numerical formats of pixels in images.

Value Description
PixelFormatIndexed Is an indexes into a palette.
PixelFormatGDI Is a GDI-supported format.
PixelFormatAlpha Has an alpha component.
PixelFormatPAlpha Is the pre-multiplied alpha.
PixelFormatExtended Is extended color 16 bits/channel.
PixelFormatCanonical Is in canonical format.
PixelFormatUndefined Is in an undefined format.
PixelFormatDontCare Is any format.
PixelFormat1bppIndexed Is the 1 bit-per-pixel indexed color bitmap.

Definition:

(10 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatGDI | PixelFormatCanonical)
PixelFormat32bppPARGB Is 32bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha.

Definition:

(11 | (32 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatGDI)
PixelFormat48bppRGB Is 48bpp RGB.

Definition:

(12 | (48 << 8) | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormat64bppARGB Is 64bpp ARGB, non-premultiplied alpha

Definition:

(13 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha  | PixelFormatCanonical | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormat64bppPARGB Is 64bpp ARGB, premultiplied alpha.

Definition:

(14 | (64 << 8) | PixelFormatAlpha  | PixelFormatPAlpha | PixelFormatExtended)
PixelFormatMax The underlying value of this macro can be used literally as the upper bound of a loop through all the other pixel formats.

Remarks

Pixel formats that support a 16-bit per color component are called extended formats.

The two 32bpp ARGB formats and the two 64bpp ARGB formats are called canonical formats.

Color values for extended pixel formats are interpreted in XsRGB linear space. Color values for other pixel formats are interpreted in sRGB space.

Alpha values are always interpreted in linear space.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 5.0 and later.
Header: Imaging.h.
