Windows Graphics - GDIC Reference

Introduction

This page provides a visual guide to the key concepts of the Windows Graphics - GDIC Reference.

The GDIC is a comprehensive, multilingual, and standardized vocabulary for the character encoding of Windows graphics.

Key Components

The GDIC is structured around several fundamental concepts, including:

• Pixel Data: The raw data representing each pixel in an image.
• Color Palettes: Collections of colors used in graphics.
• Transformations: Geometric operations applied to pixels.
• Layering: Combining multiple images and surfaces to create complex graphics.
• Transparency: The ability to make areas of an image invisible.

GDIC Structure Overview

The GDIC is organized into several core areas:

1. Color Model: Defines how colors are represented.
2. Pixel Dimensions: Determines the size and resolution of each pixel.
3. Color Components: Specifies how colors are defined (e.g., red, green, blue, alpha).
4. Layering Rules: Define how layers interact with each other.
