     I just tried to do the same thing today. There is an example
of this in the HP widget code. The file of interest is 
Xw/CreateTile.c. HP's basic stratigy if to create a Pixmap with 
the raster in it, create an XImage, and then use XPutImage to 
copy the Pixmap into the XImage. If my understanding of Pixmaps 
is correct, it's the responsibility of the Xlib's Pixmap routines
to correct the byte ordering, bit ordering, etc. for the server. 
XImages on the other hand are the responsibility of the user. 


  Hope this helps,
