Back in Win32 a Band is 1 to many bitmaps as a Single File with many
blocks
Representing Bitmaps as picts to use on tool bars ,
I am not completely ignorant of unmanaged Win32 programming techniques.
And yet, while I've seen (and used) "image strips" in which a bitmap is
divided into some number of equal-sized portions, I've never heard of
someone mixing different-sized images within the same strip. It sounds
wasteful to me.
I've also never heard of someone calling an individual image within an
image strip a "band", thus the questions about what you're actually doing.
Instead of having Single files or embedded bmps in the dll
ive created 3 bands and would like to use them under net
there sizes are 32x32, 16x16,24x24
so the single File will be rectangle in shape with a bunch of pictures
next
to one another.
How to Seperate the Individual pictures under .Net I dont know how
In unmanaged code, you would generally use Blt() or StretchBlt() to copy a
subset of the bitmap as needed.
Likewise, in .NET, you can use one of the Graphics.DrawImage() overloads
that allows you to indicate what subset of the image you want to draw.
