Description
Hi. I'm using LGI to use Cairo in order to achieve server-based rendering, but I'd need to send PNG data to clients every once in a while. I wanted to use write_to_png_stream to render an image to a string so I can avoid creating a file every time I need to do that, but write_to_png_stream apparently does not exist.
