Determine bits per pixel in a bitmap

问题

What's the easiest way to tell the number of bits per pixel in a bitmap, e.g. a Windows .bmp file?

回答1:

Look at the header of the file.

FILE *fp; int bitPerPixel
BITMAPFILEHEADER    bfh;
BITMAPINFOHEADER    bih;

fp = fopen("C:\\MYPIC.BMP","rb"); // The picture whose 'bit per pixel' to get.

if(fp == NULL) 
{ 
AfxMessageBox("ERROR: file open err"); return(-1); 
}

fread(&bfh,sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER),1,fp); // Read Bitmap File Header
fread(&bih,sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER),1,fp); // Read Bitmap Info Header

/*  BITMAPFILEHEADER,BITMAPINFOHEADER are inbulit data type in VC++,MFC */

bitPerPixel = bih.biBitCount; 
fclose(fp);
