Enum PixelFormat

PixelFormat enumeration

Specifies the format of the color data for each pixel in the image.

public enum PixelFormat

Values

NameValueDescription
Indexed65536The 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.
Gdi131072The pixel data contains GDI colors.
Alpha262144The pixel data contains alpha values that are not premultiplied.
PAlpha524288The pixel format contains premultiplied alpha values.
Extended1048576Reserved value.
Canonical2097152The default pixel format of 32 bits per pixel. The format specifies 24-bit color depth and an 8-bit alpha channel.
Undefined0The pixel format is undefined.
DontCare0No pixel format is specified.
Format1bppIndexed196865Specifies that the pixel format is 1 bit per pixel and that it uses indexed color. The color table therefore has two colors in it.
Format4bppIndexed197634Specifies that the format is 4 bits per pixel, indexed.
Format8bppIndexed198659Specifies that the format is 8 bits per pixel, indexed. The color table therefore has 256 colors in it.
Format16bppGrayScale1052676The pixel format is 16 bits per pixel. The color information specifies 65536 shades of gray.
Format16bppRgb555135173Specifies 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.
Format16bppRgb565135174Specifies 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.
Format16bppArgb1555397319The 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.
Format24bppRgb137224Specifies that the format is 24 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
Format32bppRgb139273Specifies 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.
Format32bppArgb2498570Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel; 8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
Format32bppPArgb925707Specifies 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.
Format48bppRgb1060876Specifies that the format is 48 bits per pixel; 16 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
Format64bppArgb3424269Specifies that the format is 64 bits per pixel; 16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
Format64bppPArgb1851406Specifies 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.
Max15The maximum value for this enumeration.
