The PPM format and NetPBM tools, or Imagemagick, might be useful.

Convert your image (whatever it may be) down to the appropriate resolution
(the number of RGB LEDs you have), and into an easily-readable format
(R,G,B triplets, uncompressed; PPM can even be stored in plain ASCII with
decimal values) for your display driver.

That'd be fun. :)
