Graphics.TPixelFormat Enumeration

TPixelFormat specifies the format of a bitmap.

Pascal

TPixelFormat = (
  pfDevice,
  pf1bit,
  pf4bit,
  pf8bit,
  pf15bit,
  pf16bit,
  pf24bit,
  pf32bit,
  pfCustom
);

C++

enum TPixelFormat {
  pfDevice,
  pf1bit,
  pf4bit,
  pf8bit,
  pf15bit,
  pf16bit,
  pf24bit,
  pf32bit,
  pfCustom
};

TPixelFormat can have one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
pfDevice	The bitmap is stored as a device-dependent bitmap.
pf1bit	The bitmap is a device-independent bitmap with one bit per pixel (black and white palette)
pf4bit	The bitmap is a device-independent bitmap that uses a 16-color palette.
pf8bit	The bitmap is a device-independent bitmap that uses a 256color palette.
pf15bit	The bitmap is a device-independent true-color bitmap that uses 15 bits per pixel (RGB compression).
pf16bit	The bitmap is a device-independent true-color bitmap that uses 16 bits per pixel (bitfield compression).
pf24bit	The bitmap is a device-independent true-color bitmap that uses 24 bits per pixel.
pf32bit	The bitmap is a device-independent true-color bitmap that uses 32 bits per pixel (RGB compression).
pfCustom	The bitmap uses some other format. TBitmap does not support pfCustom.
