You could calculate the index with the width of the matrix and the length of one unit of 4.
The access is zero based.
function getPos(array, x, y, width) {
var p = y * width4 * 4(x + xy * 4;width);
return array.slice(p, p + 4);
}
var array = [
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 241, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
];
// element above
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 1, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 240]
// actual element
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 2, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 255]
// element below
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 3, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 241]
