What kind of bitmap do you want to use?
Windows bitmaps are actually pretty easy to use, especially since they are rarely compressed. The only problem is that due to the lack of compression they can be huge if they have big dimensions. There is also the problem of copyright, since it is a proprietary format. I don't use it often so I don't know the exact copyright or patent information.

A few seconds of googling got me the bitmap reference directly from Microsoft themselves.
About Bitmaps
Bitmap Storage

Bitmaps are stored as a regular file, usually with an extension of .BMP. To display one, you would need to load it as a file, parse the headers, and then use that information to convert the bitmap bits to whatever display format your current graphics mode uses. Then just BLT that to the screen.

Look out for the graphics programming black book. Complete with sample code and explanations.

Hi,
I drew a non-filled triangle.
Please , Can any one tell me how to draw a filled one?
---------------------------------
Thank you a lot

[Tosi]

If you can draw a non-filled triangle, it shouldn't be much of a step to figure out how to draw a filled one.

Do you mind doing your research first?

[melgmry0101b]

I spent a day searching about it , i didn't find any useful information

[Combuster]

Proof that the person in question never bothered to search: [1] and [2]

Hundreds of people have (wrongly) said that they have searched before, I think we have some experience by now in knowing which claims are correct.

Thank you very much for all your replies

Wikipedia is a very good resource, I used the article about .bmp and I created my own bitmap drawing function few years ago... when I was using turbo C 3.0 and launching any of my evil graphics programs would crash the computer...
