Appeal No. 2000-2211
Application No. 09/031,316
21. A method for invoking a function to create a device-
independent bitmap, comprising:
(a) issuing, by an application program, a function call of
the form CreateDIBSection (a, b, c, d, e, f), wherein a through f
are parameters and:
a represents a handle to a device context;
b represents a pointer to a data structure that describes
the format of a device-independent bitmap to create;
c represents a value that specifies whether members of the
data structure contain explicit color values or palette indices;
d represents a pointer to a buffer that receives the address
of the bitmap bits;
e represents an identifier of a memory-mapped object from
which the bitmap may be created;
f represents a value that specifies an offset;
(b) receiving, by an operating system, the function call and
parsing the call to retrieve the parameters; and
(c) issuing, by the operating system, an acknowledgment to
the application program that the function call has been received.
24. A computer readable medium on which is stored an
operating system function responsive to a function call from an
application program, the function comprising:
a function name CreateDIBSection; and
six function parameters a through f, wherein:
a represents a handle to a device context;
b represents a pointer to a data structure that describes
the format of a bitmap to create;
