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