[comp.sys.mac.programmer] 'bmap' resources

wras@walt.cc.utexas.edu (Steve Mariotti) (08/08/90)

Where in tarnation can I find info the the 'bmap'? Inference would suggest
that this is the BitMap data type as a resource, but experimentation 
suggests otherwise.

Any divine intervention on my behalf would be witlessly appreciated.

The one time I briefly looked at these things, the header part at least
did look like a BitMap record. The address field is probably zero, instead
the bitmap data would just immediately follow the BitMap record structure.

Try a quick check on the length of the bitmap data (following the above
assumption), and see if it agrees with the height of the bounds rectangle
multiplied by the rowbytes. If the data is too short, it may be compressed
with good old PackBits.

Just random thoughts. I mean, how complicated could it be...?
