An application can draw bit-map images on a raster printer or display screen, or into metafiles associated with a raster device. Any GPI drawing requests (including those that produce graphics text), issued to a presentation space associated with a memory DC containing a selected bit map, cause the bit map to receive raster images of your drawings. The following table describes the bit map drawing functions:
