You can use a bitmap, but the SCREEN must be set to a depth greater
than or equal to the bitmap you want to draw. So if the screen is in
1bpp, a 4bpp bitmap won't draw properly, if at all.
Otherwise the bitmap structure or resource has to have the proper
depth and other parameters. You can't just set the depth in the
header since things like bytes per scanline change depending on depth.
You don't need a "family", but the bitmap has to be correctly
formatted for the depth is says it is.
