Has anyone a link to or text reference to the concise definition of varbmp and precisely how varbmp can be used eg formatting.

I have some material about the subject but it is not always easy to know whether the information I hold is industry standard or not.

I am writing a paper that involves varbmp as an element so I want it to be accurate.

Thank you.

It is an action instruction for bitmap to create an object

var bmpBitmapData = new BitmapData(
map._width, map._height

Ah, I see…not "varbmp", but "var bmp"…

sorry, trewmte…I started looking around on Google to see if I could assist you with this but couldn't find any reference to "varbmp" that would appear to be relevant to what you were asking for.

So, say what you will…but I tried to help…

OK this looks like a fragment of code (not that I know what language it is, I have my suspicions but I'm not going to spend an awful lot of time looking when you could just tell me)

'var' seems to be declaring a variable
'bmp' is the name of the variable
- neither of these is going to be of much use to you as the name of the varialble could be anything.
The useful bit is the type of variable and it's constructor. The variable is of type 'BitmapData' but you don't seem to have supplied the whole of the instantiation call so we can't see what arguments (apart from width and height) have been sent to the constructor.
There are several languages and frameworks that use 'BitmapData' objects and you need to be specific as to the language and framework you are using.
Here's one such reference (and probably the most common).
BitmapData - Microsoft Library
I don't think it is this though because the constructor in this object doesn't require any arguments and your example has some…

Bottom line… you need to supply details of the programming language and a bit more context if you want people to be more specific.

The code fragment is for Flash actionscript.

import flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;

var bmpBitmapData = new BitmapData(
map._width, map._height
);
bmp.draw(map);

var ptPoint = new Point(0, 0);
Found the code piece on G, and figure it has to do with manipulating bitmap image.

It would help to see the rest of your code trewmte wink

keydet89, binarybod and jhup thanks for your replies and appreciate your help.

jhup, you are right that is where the var bmp statement comes from but I do not claim or suggest that it is my work. That is someone elses work. However, when searching for var bmp I did see "var bmpBitmapData = new BitmapData" to be a common statement in various entries on quite a number of websites, although it was not clear who was the author. Grateful for your help though.

binarybod, you maybe thinking along the same lines as me as you have in away answered my query. I am trying to establish whether specifiying the action performed in a certain way might be forensically more useful rather than simply identifying the resultant output (object) as the format the data are presented.

I am looking at the elementary file EFBCCH (7F206F74/7F216F74) in SIM.

The EF records - BCCH Information

9F7C8C040C6C0AA40900980406800008

Following translation of the above when set to an output object action *var bmp

**761 765 766 774 781 782 786 787 789 790 797 799 801 803 806 813 816 825 828 829 838 846 847 849 869

*var bmp I think might forensically make a useful statement as it defines a verb (doing word) letting the examiner know the action required or taken, this way we get to see the action in the statement to understand the middle process stage to establish whether anything may have been lost in translation from the binaries stage up to the preparation of the final format.

**The three decimal digits are known as BCCH channel numbers that translate to the frequencies (ARFCN) used for GSM1800 in the range of 512 to 885. These are the last BCCH data recorded when the mobile was in the idle state at the closing down stage just prior to the completion of being switched OFF. The data recorded are bcch_info_sys_2 and not 'bis' or 'ter'.

I am sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant, if you had a different program code to share with us, as we might be a bit more successful to decipher what it does.

I misunderstood the original purpose of your search.
