Thanks for the info, but thats not what I was looking for. cairo
surface_t offers direct access to the data of the image, from which I'll
have to pick out the bits one by one. I'm hoping a library will be able
to do this for me.
Any library that you can think of that offers bit by bit access without
me needing to write a separate function to shift the bits out one by one
from a 32-Bit int? Kind of like a bitarray?
