Organization of data for XImages

[individual]

Hi.

I haven't been able to find a specification of he layout of image data that XCreateImage() expects.

My natural instinct is to feed it data as follows. Each row in the following scheme represents 1 byte (in the case of a 16bpp image)

[ red Most Significant Byte ]
[ red Least Significant Byte ]
[ green Most Significant Byte ]
[ green Least Significant Byte ]
[ blue Most Significant Byte ]
[ blue Least Significant Byte ]

The above represents one pixel, the top-left hand corner pixel. Next pixel would be the one to its left, and so on, completing one scanline.

An alternate data layout would be to have first all the red data for a scanline, then all the green data and then all the blue data for the scanline.

Would someone please tell me which format XCreateImage() expects?


Thanks.

Paul
