    Its very easy. Fistly you have to understand the format of a bitmap. You can follow to the link below posted by Lundin.

    Read and try to understand the format of a bitmap.

    How many colors is your bitmap?

  • hi...

    i do understand the format but and i can check the color red by searching for 0xff 0x00 0x00....i dont know where the coordinates will be....thats where i need some example code to find the coordinates of that point....

    I would suggest you convert the image to 16 bit(Save as 16 color using Windows Paint program). It will be much easier to work with 16 bit.

    In 16 bit Images a byte represents 2 pixels;

    Click on this link and you will find a code written in C/C++ that draws the 16 bit image using Turbo C/C++ graphics.

    The location of the red dot, you can determine from the image Height and Width. Once you find your Red dot, save its x position (Width position) and y position(Height). Then from there you will have the cordinate of the Red dot.

    Loco.
