Return Value

The array contains groups of three, the Red, Blue, and Green (RBG) components of pixel color, and optionally a fourth value that indicates the transparency of the pixel, which can be a value from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque).

To determine the format of the data, you need the information returned by ISketchPicture::GetPixelmapSize:

Number of items per pixel = size / (rows * columns)

Each group of three, or four, goes across each pixel in a row of the bitmap. The next row follows in the array.

This raw data does not include translation, scaling, rotation, and flipping. SolidWorks applies these properties to the raw bitmap data to draw it in the sketch.
