BITMAP (constant)

This is the bitmask used to select the BITMAP mode.



The BITMAP constant represents the position (in terms of bits) that tracks whether the graphics chipset is capable of rendering graphics in "bitmap" mode, i.e. whether it is possible to address individual pixels on the screen.

This constant can be used to query the SCREEN constant, in an attempt to understand whether the functionality is available or not.
