# Frame.SetBitmap Method 
 
Puts a bitmap into frame.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Overridable Sub SetBitmap ( _bitmap As Bitmap _
)
```
 
```csharp
public virtual void SetBitmap(Bitmap bitmap
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - bitmap
     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Bitmap.htm.md)
 [Bitmap](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Bitmap.htm.md) class instance which should be associated with this frame.
 
### Implements
 
[IFrame.SetBitmap(Bitmap)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_IFrame_SetBitmap_1_fd4033ef.htm.md)
 
## Remarks
 If this frame is associated with some format reader, this method **will not** write the bitmap into it (instead of previously associated bitmap). The purpose of this method is to initialize internal [Bitmap](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Bitmap.htm.md) object with proper bitmap before passing this frame into [AddFrame(IFrame)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_FormatWriter_AddFrame_1_7fae152b.htm.md) method.
