I have found a good libpng example code from http://zarb.org/~gc/html/libpng.html
The following content is copied from the site.(To preserve the content if the site goes down - libpng example code.) Sometimes, even if Gimp can do wonderful things, one may want to iterate over the pixels of a file to compute things on it. One solution is to script gimp using scheme or perl. Another one is to use the libpng to read and write png files, computing anything necessary in the middle. Since I didn't find myself a "simple" example program using libpng, I had to more or less hack mine, so I publish it there after. It's short and simple - that's the point.
Here is the plain
text version - check next paragraph for the beautified one.

Thanks to Sbi for some comments and improvements, and
to Demur Rumed for removing the
deprecated info_ptr-> accesses.
