Sounds like you need to take the
rowbytes-per-scanline into consideration.

Subject: [Algorithms] OT: How to read a bitmap of arbitrary size?
>Hi,
>
>I have been frustratingly bugged for hours and I decide to resort to the
>list. I want to read a 24-bit bitmap heightfield. I can correctly read it
>as long as the dimension of the bitmap file is in 2's power such as 4x4,
>8x8, 16x16, etc. (But 2x2 doesn't work?!) In these _normal_ cases, the
>*biSizeImage* field of the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure gives me the correct
>size of image in bytes. However, if I create a bitmap of non-2's-power
>dimension such as 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, etc., the *biSizeImage* field gives me
some
>bogus number. For example, 5x5 yields 80 bytes (5x5x3 = 75 bytes); 6x6
>yields 120 bytes (6x6x3 = 108 bytes); 7x7 yields 168 bytes (7x7x3 = 147
>bytes). Could somebody tell me what happened?
