I have written a library that writes and saves BMP images (win gdi spec)
On top of this I am writing a simple graphics library.
All of this from scratch in C btw.
Already done with BMP backend and generated the first image - 800×600 fully red colored canvas.

internet anon, on youtube and github mostly, its called procedural graphics, essentially you fill a memory buffer with pixel by pixel data, and then lay it out in a proper file structure.
there is a book called ray tracer challenge that uses this approach.
I have seen this done for ppm file format on linux, I dont use linux so decided to the same thing on windows, bmp is the simplest image file format on windows.
the windows BMP file structure is available in its documentation, wingdi has the necessary struct declarations.
