Postscript file Image and C# Bitmap

Question

I have images defined like below in postscript file:

<< /ImageType 1
/Width 986 /Height 1
/BitsPerComponent 8
/Decode [0 1 0 1 0 1]
/ImageMatrix [986 0 0 -1 0 1]
/DataSource <

> /LZWDecode filter >> image } def

using the image DataSource, I need to create a C# bitmap object.

Bitmap bitmapImage = new Bitmap(986, 1, PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);

I don't have much knowledge about ps files.
Depending on info available in ps block, can anyone please confirm following:

Which PixelFormat to use here - I am currently using PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb?
Is '/Width 986 /Height 1' is the right image size to use when creating C# Bitmap?

Thank you!

Which PixelFormat to use here - I am currently using PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb?

Instead of PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb i would use PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed because of this line: /BitsPerComponent 8

Anyway, you can use other format, it will be converted

Is '/Width 986 /Height 1' is the right image size to use when creating C# Bitmap?

Yes it is: width=986 / height=1
Only if you want to create a Bitmap respecting width and height in Postscript file
