Program 1: Image Writer

Due Friday, September 19^th

Summary and Goal

Instructions

• Write a program in C to output an image to standard out.
• Image must be 800x600 if the user fails to provide a custom size. It may be a solid color or something more interesting.
• To test your program, redirect to output to a file and view it with an image viewer. e.g.
  eclipse / IrfanView
• Once your basic program works add these required features:
  1. Get the width and height of the picture from the user via command line input. Use stderr to describe correct input if none is provided at run time.
  2. Use these values to create a picture in this custom size.
