Hello!

I would like to write a program which works with pictures.

For that, I will need two procedures for reading and writing a picture in/out to/from memory and hereby decoding/encoding it into a usable format which can be handled easily from FPC. I can imagine four lists of byte for CMYK (where every byte represents an 8-bit value of one particular point, or three lists of byte for RGB.
Because I am not interesting in re-inventing the wheel, I would like to use existing libraries for reading/writing the pictures, i.e. the libjpeg.so. I am sure that these libraries will do more or less exactly what I need in my case, because I need only very low-level functions. But I will need some kind of wrapper for them to make usage easier.

When somebody has worked on that and could leave me some code to get better understanding, I will be very happy. -- Thanks in advance!
