Constants and Data Types
This section describes the data structures you use to create and manipulate bitmaps.
You use the gxBitmap structure to specify information about a bitmap geometry and information about how QuickDraw GX should create a bitmap shape. You also use this data structure to specify color information for bitmaps. A complete discussion of the QuickDraw GX color architecture appears in the chapter "Color and Color-Related Objects" in Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Objects.
You use the gxLongRectangle structure to specify a rectangular subsection of a bitmap pixel image when editing bitmap parts.
This section also discusses the constants and data types you use when creating disk-based bitmaps.
