Library/PNG

Here is a small library to generate monochrome PNG images. PNG is probably the simplest format with widespread support (ie. in browsers). This library has a function "png" which converts two-dimensional data Bool into a String. Writing the String to a file (ie. with writeFile) creates a PNG file.

This code requires the Zlib package.
