Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.
The Microsoft® Bitmap Reader/Writer module provides FME with access to data in BMP format.
The BMP format was created by Microsoft and IBM® and is therefore very strictly bound to the architecture of the main hardware platform that both companies support: the IBM-compatible PC.
Windows stores bitmapped images in BMP format, which has four incarnations: two under Windows (new and old) and two under OS/2.
Reader Overview
FME considers a single BMP file to be a dataset. The BMP file contains pixel data, and each pixel in the file is a point in a single FME raster feature.
The reader supports reading almost any type of BMP file.
Writer Overview
The writer can write BMP files which are supported on any Windows system. Only single- or three-band files can be saved in BMP file. Input values will be resampled to 8 bit.
