1 bit per pixel. It is implicit in the code that pixel addresses within a

byte increase from low bit to high bit. A little-endian architecture is also

implicit, because conversions are made from pointers to byte and from pointers

to (unsigned) int and there is an implication that pixel addresses within

a 32-bit word also increase from low to high-order bit. </p> <fig id="GUID-7E3D8B96-2CC0-58C8-856D-21847782878E">

It is implicit in the code that pixel addresses within a byte increase from

low bit to high bit. A little-endian architecture is also implicit, because

conversions are made from pointers to byte and from pointers to (unsigned)

int and there is an implication that pixel addresses within a 32-bit word

also increase from low to high-order bit. </p> <fig id="GUID-5D4C0942-42F8-5094-B376-DC4252816437">

It is implicit in the code that pixel addresses within a byte increase from

low bit to high bit. A little-endian architecture is also implicit, because

conversions are made from pointers to byte and from pointers to (unsigned)

int and there is an implication that pixel addresses within a 32-bit word

also increase from low to high-order bit. </p> <fig id="GUID-6021C416-EAF0-5FAA-9181-13A0FB14D518">

A little-endian architecture is implicit in the code, because conversions

are made from pointers to byte and pointers to (unsigned) integer and there

is an implication that the lower-order byte of an unsigned integer has the

physically lower address. </p> <p>8-bit per pixel color bitmaps use indexed

look up tables and monochrome bitmaps represent the 256 levels of gray directly. </p> <fig id="GUID-7047A561-981B-56B9-BCFD-5F2E4C757B79">
