array to bitmap

[VCDD]

Hi users

My program got a pointer which points on an byte array. The stored information in that array are the pixel values of a gray picture (8 bit color depth)

Now I want to create a bitmap file out of this array. Does anybody know some simple functions for this problem.

System used: VC++ 2005 / Win32 application (no mfc)

I don´t know wether there is a simple function for this., or not... i think it should be possible using the sdl, opengl or DirectX...

Or you may read about the bmp-file-format on wikipedia and write the headers yourself...
