Need software that can help me in working with pixels

Question

I am working with graphics in C. I find thinking about the pixel locations terrible and I am in need of a tool where I can draw images and it gives me the pixel location of that point. Please guide me.

Answer 1

Paint that comes with Windows provides pixel locations in its status bar.

Answer 2

Check out free and open source gimp http://www.gimp.org/ . It is the most highly rated open source multi os paint program by far.

Answer 3

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here, however, Inkscape allows you to position and draw things on a per-pixel basis. You could draw your graphics, etc on Inkscape and use that as a reference.

Also, as Basarat Ali says, GIMP is good for this too.
