How can I generate iOS code to draw an image?

How can I consume a graphic and then generate objective-c code that can draw it? The code generation doesn't need to be written in objective-c, but must generate objective-c code.

Input: A.png

Output: Core Graphics code to generate a file A.png that would match the image of the original file, A.png.

For example, since I can find out the color and position of every pixel, what tool can I use to write iOS code that draws those pixels exactly.

Why inflate the bundle size with images or why wait to pull down images from a web service when the app itself could generate those images with the right instructions.

My intention is to use this in a white label solution.

Because your code will still need to contain all the information contained in the image, plus all those drawing instructions, so you're going to end up with a larger product, not a smaller one. Additionally, building the image data into the code makes it that much harder to change.
