[cairo] Direct manipulation and write to PNG

[Carlos López González]

I'm sorry about my previous question to you Andrea, because I missed
the first part of your post.
Now that you kindly have explained it twice to me I understand that it
is needed to access the data using a 32 bits unsigned int to get it
with the correct endianess.
Thanks!
