# getPixel(_:atX:y:) Returns by indirection the pixel data for the specified location in the bitmap image representation. ``` func getPixel(_ p: UnsafeMutablePointer, atX x: Int, y: Int) ``` ## Parameters `p` On return, an array of integers containing raw pixel data in the appropriate order according to the object’s bitmap format. Smaller integer samples, such as 4-bit, are returned as an integer. Floating point values are cast to integer values and returned. `x` The x-axis coordinate of the pixel. `y` The y-axis coordinate of the pixel. ## Discussion The origin is in the top-left corner. ## See Also [`bitmapFormat`](/documentation/AppKit/NSBitmapImageRep/bitmapFormat) The format of the bitmap image representation. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
