I think that the function is just meant as a way to generate an image 
via a string, in lack of a better data format.

So the string is not a string of pixel values (pun inteded) but image 
data stored in a string indstead of a file.

Your string would probably look a little like this:

"GIF89aEUR
ÿÿÿ!ù¤&(¤&(g(/&dg;"

Well actually it wouldn't. But the general idea is that the string would 
be how an image file like a gif would look like if opened in a text editor.
