bitmaps

This may seem like a dumb question (I seem to be good at asking the questions with simple answers), but can anyone tell me how I can create a bitmap? I don't mean tiling a source bitmap. I mean creating a source bitmap.

Bitmap files come in a number of formats. MSDN has a ton of information on the .dib, .bmp types. Part of the file is the actual bitmap. You might look around there.
