8bpp Bitmaps with SetPixel

[hokemon]

I've manually contructed a bitmap object using SetPixel, but I want to do the same with an 8bpp bitmap object with an indexed palette. Does anyone know how this can be achieved in VB .net?

well i'm not sure to understand your question.
you want to create a 8bpp bitmap ?
if so, you can simply use this :


Dim bmp = New Bitmap(s.Height, s.Height, img.PixelFormat)
(if you want to take the PixelFormat of an existing image)

or

Dim bmp2 = New Bitmap(s.Height, s.Height, 8L)

hope this helps
