This is not a very clear problem description. What kind of a bitmap
image do you have? a black-and-white image? A grayscaled image? A
colored image? You can create Fomrs with different color depths and
also forms with a color map, but to choose a proper form you have to
know the properties of the image.

Is such a byte used to represent two color values (black or white)
or up to 256 different colors?

To display an image, you need a form.
Here is the code to create a black-and-white form from a ByteArray:
| byteArray extent form cnt |
byteArray := ByteArray new: 16*16.
33 to: 64 do: [:idx | byteArray at: idx put: 1].
" the byteArray stores the pixels of the black-and-white image
line-by-line. The following code creates a suitable Form and
copies the bits into the form. "
form := Form extent: (extent := 16@16).
cnt := 1.
0 to: extent y -1 do:
[:py |
0 to: extent x -1 do:
[:px | | isBlack |
isBlack := (byteArray at: cnt) ~= 0.
form colorAt: px @py put: (isBlack ifTrue: [Color black] ifFalse: [Color white]).
cnt := cnt + 1
].
].
form displayAt: 10 @ 10.
For a gray-scaled image or an image with a color palette you would use a ColorForm that you can convert into a Form if such a conversion is needed.
Hope this helps,
if it does not help, please post a more detailed problem description!
