I need to form a pixel matrix out of an image file

Question

I need some help doing the following in C++: I have to read an image file (.bmp, .jpg, etc.) and as a result I have to form a pixel matrix in the form of an one-dimentional array. Is there a library I should use or any functions available for this purpose?

Thank you!

See http://stackoverflow.com/q/694080/10468 for JPEG and PNG. For BMP and other formats, I know the question has been asked before and answers exist on S.O. — DarenW, May 10 '13 at 20:20
(and never mind the "on linux" part of that question - the libraries are multiplatform.) — DarenW, May 10 '13 at 20:21

There are lots of libraries available for reading images in C.
