8 * Read a single pixel value from a PNG file.
9 *
10 * This code illustrates basic 'by-row' reading of a PNG file using libpng.
11 * Rows are read until a particular pixel is found, the value of this pixel is
12 * then printed on stdout.
13 *
14 * The code illustrates how to do this on interlaced as well as non-interlaced
15 * images.  Normally you would call png_set_interlace_handling() to have libpng
16 * deal with the interlace for you, but that obliges you to buffer half of the
17 * image to assemble the interlaced rows.  In this code
18 * png_set_interlace_handling() is not called and, instead, the code handles the
19 * interlace passes directly looking for the required pixel.
