The BitmapBitOrder macro returns LSBFirst or MSBFirst to indicate whether the leftmost bit in the bitmap as displayed on the screen is the least or most significant bit in the unit.

The BitmapPad macro returns the number of bits that each scanline must be padded.

The BitmapUnit macro returns the size of a bitmap’s scanline unit in bits.

The DisplayHeight macro returns the height of the specified screen in pixels.
