|  | [{dtor}](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_%7Bdtor%7D.htm.md) | Enables using delete operator in C++ applications. It is strongly not recommended to use it directly. |
|  | [Dispose](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Dispose.htm.md) | Releases all resources used by this [BitmapData](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData.htm.md).
(Overrides [LockableObject](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject.htm.md).[Dispose()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject_Dispose.htm.md).) |
|  | [Equals](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/bsc2ak47) | (Inherited from [Object](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/e5kfa45b).) |
|  | [Export](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Export.htm.md) | Returns a copy of pixel data as 3D array. |
|  | [GetEmptyMask](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_GetEmptyMask.htm.md) | Returns grayscale image of the same size as current bitmap data filled with black color. It can be used as mask template for transforms. |
|  | [GetHashCode](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/zdee4b3y) | (Inherited from [Object](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/e5kfa45b).) |
|  | [GetPixel](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_GetPixel_2_22dcb54d.htm.md) | Returns pixel value at specified coordinates. |
|  | [GetType](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/dfwy45w9) | (Inherited from [Object](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/e5kfa45b).) |
|  | [Import](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Import_3_413b0f7a.htm.md) | Fills the pixels of the current [BitmapData](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData.htm.md) object from given 3D array. |
|  | [Lock](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Lock.htm.md) | Locks the object.
(Overrides [LockableObject](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject.htm.md).[Lock()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject_Lock.htm.md).) |
|  | [MemberwiseClone](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/57ctke0a) | (Inherited from [Object](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/e5kfa45b).) |
|  | [SaveToClipboard](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_SaveToClipboard.htm.md) | Saves the bitmap into the clipboard. |
|  | [SetPixel](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_SetPixel_3_5b67216d.htm.md) | Sets pixel value at the specified coordinates. |
|  | [ToString](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/7bxwbwt2) | (Inherited from [Object](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/e5kfa45b).) |
|  | [Unlock](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Unlock.htm.md) | Unlocks the object previously locked with method [Lock()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_BitmapData_Lock.htm.md).
(Overrides [LockableObject](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject.htm.md).[Unlock()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_LockableObject_Unlock.htm.md).) |
