there's a separate libfb (<fb.h>), which is the one that supports the
pic file format.  man 2 wrbitmapfile describes the libg primitive
for writing Bitmaps to files.  Plan 9's version of that routine doesn't
write a compressed format, unlike (say) Inferno's equivalent.
the pic file writer in libfb can write compressed pic files, though,
and you can then fiddle directly with images using the fb commands,
so on balance pic might be the best one to use.
