See xcb_get_setup() and xcb_setup_pixmap_formats().

You want (pseudocode):
  find pixmap format
  Line = ((x * format->bits_per_pixel) + 7) / 8;
  Line = pad(Line, format->scanline_pad);

Also, setup->image_byte_order is important, as are
xcb_depth_visuals()->red_mask, green_mask, and blue_mask. Without those
pieces of information, you don't know which bits correspond to which
colours.

xcb_image.h (from xcb/util) has a number of useful functions that may
help when dealing with images.
