[cairo] CAIRO_FORMAT_A1 image source color

[sthustfo]

Thanks, the example works perfectly.

However, I have a further query. You mentioned earlier that

Now suppose I want to get access to the raw A1 (monochrome) data using
cairo_image_surface_get_data(), then this is not possible because as you
mentioned it contains only alpha channel. The interpretation happens during
PNG writing. Is there any way around this? One option I can think of is to
take a look at how cairo_surface_write_to_png() operates on the data (alpha
channel), and similarly implement the same to get access to raw data.

Thanks.
