The BITMAPINFO structure defines the dimensions and color information for a DIB, it contains the members

BITMAPINFOHEADER structure (contains information about the dimensions of color format) and bmiColors which contains one of the following:

See MSDN Documentation for BITMAPINFO concerning specific details concerning structure members.

/// <param name="lpvBits">A pointer to a buffer to receive the bitmap data. If this parameter is <see cref="IntPtr.Zero"/>, the function passes the dimensions and format of the bitmap to the <see cref="BITMAPINFO"/> structure pointed to by the <paramref name="lpbi"/> parameter.</param>

/// <param name="lpbi">A pointer to a <see cref="BITMAPINFO"/> structure that specifies the desired format for the DIB data.</param>

/// <param name="uUsage">The format of the bmiColors member of the <see cref="BITMAPINFO"/> structure. It must be one of the following values.</param>

/// If the lpvBits parameter is NULL and GetDIBits successfully fills the <see cref="BITMAPINFO"/> structure, the return value is nonzero.
