title: C++ Reading and Editing pixels of a bitmap image
body: <p>I'm trying to create a program which reads an image in (starting with bitmaps because they're the easiest), searches through the image for a particular parameter (i.e. one pixel of (255, 0, 0) followed by one of (0, 0, 255)) and changes the pixels in some way (only within the program, not saving to the original file.) and then displays it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Windows, simple GDI for preference and I want to avoid custom libraries just because I want to really understand what I'm doing for this test program.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help? In any way? A website? Advice? Example code?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
