The Xlib - C Language X Interface states that the function
XCreateImage "allocates the memory needed for an XImage structure"....
..."but doesn't allocate space for the image itself."
How can we determine the amount of space to be allocated for image
data in the various formats (XY* or Z*)?
i.e. if I have to display an image in a say 600x600 pixels window
how many bytes I need to allocate?
