Monochrome Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib):
A monochrome bitmap is a type of digital image that displays only a single color, usually black. This is a type of one particular file format, which is referred to as a bitmap (BMP), and is often used in the creation of simple graphics. In a bitmap, each pixel or “picture element” of an image is represented by a particular number of bits, which are units of information. A monochrome bitmap has pixels that are only one bit, allowing each pixel to either display a single color or no color, often seen as black and white.
16 Color Bitmap(*.bmp;*.dib):
      16 Color bitmap file is the same as a Monochrome bitmap fil
except it uses a range of 16 Colors instead of black and white.

      It's a rectangular grid of pixels and each pixle is represented by a singla bit.Eight pixles are in each bitb of the bitmap.The format is often used for bitmopped text or single_colored images.This particular file uses 256 different colors.
