| source_format | [`PixelDataFormat`](/cad/python-net/aspose.cad/pixeldataformat) | The source format. |
| data | bytes | The source data. |
| offset | int | The offset in bytes where data copying should begin. |
| bit_start | int | The bit start. Note this value is not byte aligned value instead this is actual bit where copying should begin. |
| samples_count | int | The samples count. |
| lines_count | int | The lines count. |
| dest_format | [`PixelDataFormat`](/cad/python-net/aspose.cad/pixeldataformat) | The destination format. |
