Working with BMP metadata Leave feedback

The GroupDocs.Metadata API supports extracting format-specific information from BMP file headers.

The following are the steps to read the header of a BMP file.

1. Load a BMP image
2. Get the root metadata package
3. Extract  the native metadata package using BmpRootPackage.BmpHeader
4. Read the BMP header properties

AdvancedUsage.ManagingMetadataForSpecificFormats.Image.Bmp.BmpReadHeaderProperties

using (Metadata metadata = new Metadata(Constants.InputBmp))
{
	var root = metadata.GetRootPackage<BmpRootPackage>();

	Console.WriteLine(root.BmpHeader.BitsPerPixel);
	Console.WriteLine(root.BmpHeader.ColorsImportant);
	Console.WriteLine(root.BmpHeader.HeaderSize);
	Console.WriteLine(root.BmpHeader.ImageSize);
	Console.WriteLine(root.BmpHeader.Planes);
}
