Endian Types

The bitOrder field of a bitmap, a pixmap, or a storage pixmap indicates the order in which the bits in a byte are addressed. This field must contain one of these constants:



 
typedef enum TQ3Endian {

    kQ3EndianBig,

    kQ3EndianLittle

} TQ3Endian;

Constant descriptions

kQ3EndianBig: The bits are addressed in a big-endian manner (that is, each field is addressed by referring to its most significant bit).
kQ3EndianLittle: The bits are addressed in a little-endian manner (that is, each field is addressed by referring to its least significant bit).
