I want to get a byte * to the dib in a bmp file in C++. I know that bmp contains a bmp header and I need to open the bmp file and skip some bytes in order to get the pointer to the dib. I am unfamiliar with C++ so any code would be helpful!
Pseudocode of what I want to do:
byte * pointer = open(file.bmp);
pointer += number of bits to get to dib.
return pointer
Use
seekgto jump over the bmp header. I really recommend to read a tutorial about file IO, for example here.
