I think _putpixel will do just that. there is no clipping or anything.

Yes, but in 8 bit modes only. You can say bitmap->line[y][x]=color;
or color=bitmap->line[y][x] where y is the Y and x is the X (yes they
are reversed!). But this is just 8 bit modes. I'm afraid for highcolor
you need the putpixel routine.
