function [X,map] = vb_readbmp(filename,offset)
%VB_READBMP Read image data from a BMP file.
%   This is identical to the Matlab 6.5 ReadBMP.m file apart from the fact
%   that it calls VB_IMBMPINFO.M rather than IMBMPINFO.m
%   [X,MAP] = VB_READBMP(FILENAME) reads image data from a BMP file.
%   X is a uint8 array that is 2-D for 1-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit
%   image data.  X is M-by-N-by-3 for 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit image data.  
%   MAP is normally an M-by-3 MATLAB colormap, but it may be empty if the
%   BMP file does not contain a colormap.
