The methods in this class are grouped below.

(Links go to the Bitmap Class Reference page.)

New Methods in Max 8: Bitmap::Fill(const BMM_Color_fl& fillColor)
Bitmap::Fill(const BMM_Color_64& fillColor)
Bitmap::BMMGetBitmapTypeDescription(int bitmapType, DWORD bitmapFlags)

Flag Access: Bitmap::Flags()
Bitmap::SetFlag(DWORD flag)
Bitmap::ToggleFlag(DWORD flag)
Bitmap::ClearFlag(DWORD flag)

Bitmap Properties: The following methods return properties of the bitmap. When these methods are called, they are passed through to the BitmapStorage instance maintained by the Bitmap. The BitmapStorage implements these methods by returning the properties of the BitmapInfo instance maintained by the storage. Therefore, the values returned from the methods represent what is returned from the BitmapInfo instance associated with the Bitmap.
Bitmap::Width()
Bitmap::Height()
Bitmap::Aspect()
Bitmap::Gamma()
Bitmap::Paletted()
Bitmap::IsDithered()
Bitmap::PreMultipliedAlpha()
Bitmap::HasAlpha()
Bitmap::MaxRGBLevel()
Bitmap::MaxAlphaLevel() = 0
Bitmap::IsHighDynamicRange() = 0
Bitmap::GoTo(BitmapInfo *bi)

Standard Pixel Access Methods.: Note: The following methods access pixel data one scanline at a time. Thus x+pixels must be less than the bitmap width.
Bitmap::Get16Gray(int x,int y,int pixels,float *ptr)
