public enum PixelFormat
Public Enumeration PixelFormat
Members| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| Undefined |
The pixel format is undefined.
|
| DontCare |
No pixel format is specified.
|
| Max |
The maximum value for this enumeration.
|
| Indexed |
The pixel data contains color-indexed values, which means the values are an index to colors in the system color table, as opposed to individual color values.
|
| Gdi |
The pixel data contains GDI colors.
|
| Alpha |
The pixel data contains alpha values that are not premultiplied.
|
| PAlpha |
The pixel format contains premultiplied alpha values.
|
| Extended |
Reserved.
|
| Canonical |
The default pixel format of 32 bits per pixel.
The format specifies 24-bit color depth and an 8-bit alpha channel.
|
| Format16bppArgb1555 |
The pixel format is 16 bits per pixel.
The color information specifies 32,768 shades of color, of which 5 bits are red, 5 bits are green, 5 bits are blue, and 1 bit is alpha.
|
| Format16bppGrayScale |
The pixel format is 16 bits per pixel.
The color information specifies 65536 shades of gray.
|
| Format16bppRgb555 |
Specifies that the format is 16 bits per pixel; 5 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
The remaining bit is not used.
|
| Format16bppRgb565 |
Specifies that the format is 16 bits per pixel; 5 bits are used for the red component, 6 bits are used for the green component, and 5 bits are used for the blue component.
|
| Format1bppIndexed |
Specifies that the pixel format is 1 bit per pixel and that it uses indexed color
The color table therefore has two colors in it.
|
| Format24bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 24 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
|
| Format32bppArgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
|
| Format32bppPArgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
The red, green, and blue components are premultiplied, according to the alpha component.
|
| Format32bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
The remaining 8 bits are not used.
|
| Format48bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 48 bits per pixel; 16 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
|
| Format4bppIndexed |
Specifies that the format is 4 bits per pixel, indexed.
|
| Format64bppArgb |
Specifies that the format is 64 bits per pixel; 16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
|
| Format64bppPArgb |
Specifies that the format is 64 bits per pixel; 16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
The red, green, and blue components are premultiplied according to the alpha component.
|
| Format8bppIndexed |
Specifies that the format is 8 bits per pixel, indexed.
The color table therefore has 256 colors in it.
|
| HasFlag |
Determines whether one or more bit fields are set in the current instance.
