Well, you might want to use the pixrect substructure of the pixwin
directly.  It's accessable via pw->pw_prretained, which is a pointer to a
pixrect structure.  It has everything that you have on the canvas.  You
can then go in to access the raw data part (one dimensional array of type
*short*, each holding two pixels of 8 bits each).

Hope this helps.
