<h1 align="center">PixelPacket Structure</h1>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The <i>PixelPacket</i> structure is used to represent pixels in ImageMagick. ImageMagick may be compiled to support 32 or 64 bit pixels. The size of PixelPacket is controlled by the value of the <i>QuantumDepth</i> define. The default is 64 bit pixels, which provide the best accuracy. If memory consumption must be minimized, or processing time must be minimized, then ImageMagick may be compiled with QuantumDepth=8. The following table shows the relationship between <i>QuantumDepth</i>, the type of <i>Quantum</i>, and the overall <i>PixelPacket</i> size.</p>
