 - array
     - Type:  [System.Int32](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/td2s409d) [,]

     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_PixelFormat.htm.md)
Pixel format of new bitmap. If pixel format is not indexed, argument *palette* will be ignored. 
**Note**
**Format1bppIndexed** and **Format4bppIndexed** pixel formats are not supported as well as any other pixel format which is not aligned on byte.

 - palette
     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorPalette](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_ColorPalette.htm.md)
