    Depends on the bit depth that you are rendering at. If it is \, for instance, 16 bits, each pixel is 2 bytes wide. If at 32, then each is 4 bytes wide (the easiest to work with).

    1)How do you find how wide the pixel format on a Direct draw surface is?

    2)How do you convert it to another format?(the easiest to work with).

    Ok I think I figured out how to get the pixel formate sort of....

    When I tryed to plot a pixel I used the setLockedPixel() Method and I used RGB to build the color. Red and Blue values were mixed up...
    rgb(255,0,0) was blue and rgb(0,0,255) was red
    this is wrong right.
