Our application, which currently runs on WindowsCE, exclusively uses Image
PixelFormat 16bppRgb565. This assumption permeates our code. However, as
we're porting this to run on a Mac with MonoTouch -- it doesn't seem to
support this mode at all!
For example, we create a new bitmap with this line of code:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(height, width, PixelFormat.16bppRgb565);
And this line works, but returns a bitmap with *32bppRgb* format instead!
Our code can't use this format! When we call LockBits(...,
PixelFormat.16bppRgb565), it crashes. But if we change the format to 32bpp,
it works.
So we've got a critical dilemma. If we can't get Mac/iOS to support 16bpp
image formats, we're going to have to refactor a lot of our code. We
*must* continue to support 16bpp on WindowsCE, because that's the native
format for the screen display.
Question: Can we get Mac/iOS to support bitmaps with pixel format
"16bppRgb565" ?
