    Try looking at some of the graphics formats at WotsIt.org.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    Hi Linux,

    when you mean you dont want to use graphic libraries, is it only for reading the bitmaps or are you writing your own graphics library even for displaying (changing modes, color palettes etc)?

    I just wanted to write my own bitmaps without any *.h files to be included. I'd like to know the struct type to use and how to edit it if anyone here is able to help me that would be most appreciated.

    Well you've already been given the defacto standard link (wotsit). Other than that, search the forum. This comes up all the time.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
