Purpose |
To embed a bitmap in program code. |
|
Syntax |
INTEGER(7) FUNCTION MAKE_BITMAP@(BMP_DATA, XRES, YRES) |
|
Description |
Bitmaps are usually included in a program statically via resources or dynamically with Windows API calls. This routine is provided so that bitmaps may be included in the source code as text data and then translated into bitmap format. A (HBITMAP) handle to a bitmap is returned that can be used for example with %`bm. This provides a speedy method of designing simple graphics that would otherwise require image editing software. The character arrays may include the following characters: |
