# getPixel(_:atX:y:)

Returns by indirection the pixel data for the specified location in the bitmap image representation.

## Declaration

```swift
func getPixel(_ p: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>, 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.
