[cairo] How to use a specified color as png transparent color?

[Jerónimo Barraco Mármol]

using a png with alpha channel will be the best suggestion.
but maybe you can import a png and use one of cairo painting operator to remove the color.. 
maybe, i dont know, is just and idea.

i think 1.10 has much more operators than that Jerónimo Barraco Mármol

Adding a general remark to Bill's answer:

Cairo has no functions for import and export of images. The png
related functions are mainly for debugging purposes and intentionally
only handle a specific subset of PNG files.

Furthermore, Cairo is a vector graphics library, so doing
pixel-per-pixel operations on an image is not something we really have
good support for.

These two thing together mean that you are probably better of using
another program/library to edit the png files before you use them in
Cairo.
