Parameters

Count

Size of the array

Return Value

• in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array containing groups of 3 or 4 values (see Remarks)

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).

Before calling this method, call ISketchPicture::GetPixelmapSize to get the value of Count.

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.
