1. What Is XPM?

-XPM (X PixMap) is a format for storing/retrieving X pixmaps to/from files. -

-Here is provided a library containing a set of four functions, similar to the -X bitmap functions as defined in the Xlib: XpmCreatePixmapFromData, -XpmCreateDataFromPixmap, XpmReadFileToPixmap and XpmWriteFileFromPixmap for -respectively including, storing, reading and writing this format, plus four -other: XpmCreateImageFromData, XpmCreateDataFromImage, XpmReadFileToImage and -XpmWriteFileFromImage for working with images instead of pixmaps. -

-This new version provides a C includable format, defaults for different types -of display: monochrome/color/grayscale, hotspot coordinates and symbol names -for colors for overriding default colors when creating the pixmap. It provides -a mechanism for storing information while reading a file which is re-used -while writing. This way comments, default colors and symbol names aren't lost. -It also handles "transparent pixels" by returning a shape mask in addition to -the created pixmap. -

-See the XPM Manual for details. - - -

2. Where to get XPM?

-New XPM updates are announced on the comp.windows.x newsgroup, and on the -"xpm-talk" list and you can always consult the XPM Home page at http://www.inria.fr/koala/lehors/xpm.html -

The latest "official" XPM release can always be found at: -
Boston, USA: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib -
Sophia Antipolis, France: ftp://koala.inria.fr/pub/xpm - - -

3. Documentation

-Old users might read the CHANGES file for a history -of changes interesting the user. -

-Read the doc. The documentation is in PostScript format (doc/xpm.PS) and has been produced with -FrameMaker. The source files are available on request. -

-A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is also provided, -so if you experience any problem you should have a look at this file. - - -

4. Installation

-To obtain the XPM library, first uncompress and untar the compressed tar file -in an appropriate directory. -

-Then you can either compile XPM via "imake" or in a stand-alone way. - -

4.1. With imake

- Imakefiles are provided to build both shared and unshared libraries. - However, building a shared lib is very OS dependent and often requires - specific files which are not available. Also config files are often not - set correctly for this task. So if it fails you can avoid trying to - build one and simply build the static library instead. In order to do - so you should edit the top Imakefile to add -DSharedLibXpm=NO to the - definition of IMAKE_DEFINES as described. -

- The compilation and installation of the library and the sxpm program - should only require you to edit the top Imakefile. But you should do so - in order to specify the locations where the various files should be - installed and to set the DEFINES variable accordingly to your system. -

- On Solaris 2.* the compilation works only in the native svr4 - environment, avoid the bsd one or it won't compile. Especially you - should be using /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc and not /usr/ucb/cc. - Also since the compiler is no longer part of the OS distribution a lot - of people use gcc instead. This is fine, but be aware that the imake - tool you get as part of the X Window System on a solaris box is - configured for cc. Therefore the compilation using the generated - Makefiles will not succeed unless you have changed the default - configuration. An easy work around is to directly edit the generated - lib/Makefile to change '-K pic' to '-fpic'. Fixing your imake - configuration would be better though. -

- On Linux, if you do not use ELF yet you'd better get the binary - distribution available from sunsite. Because it's really a pain to - build a shared lib and the current XPM distribution doesn't contain - the jump files you would need to do so. On the other hand people have - had no problems building it using ELF. -

- Then execute the following command: -

-		xmkmf -a
-

- or if this option is not supported by your version of xmkmf: -

-		xmkmf
-		make Makefiles
-		make includes
-		make depend		(optional)
-

- Then simply execute: -

-		make
-

- which will build the XPM library and the sxpm application. - Then do: -

-	     	make install
-		make install.man
-

- which will install the library and the sxpm program and man page. -

- If it fails, be sure you have set the DEFINES correctly in the top - Imakefile to suit your machine. - -

NOTE ON USING IMAKE:

- Building the XPM distribution with imake requires to have imake - correctly installed and configured on your - system. I do my best at tweaking the Imakefiles so they work with - as many imake flavors people might have as possible but there is - nothing I can do against wrong imake configurations. So if your - build fails using imake, don't send me email for advice. Get your - imake configuration fixed or forget about it! - - -

4.2. Without imake

- A set of makefiles is provided for those who do not have imake - available on their system. However, this is only provided as a - convenience and you should be considered as a starting point and not as - something ready to use. These makefiles, called Makefile.noX, will most - likely require some editing in order be set accordingly to your system. -

- Once this setting is done, you should be able to compile XPM, by - executing the following command: -

-	        make -f Makefile.noX
-

- Then to install it, do: -

-		make -f Makefile.noX install
-

- - -

5. SXPM

-In addition to the library the sxpm tool is provided to show XPM file and -convert them from XPM1 or XPM2 to XPM version 3. If you have previously done -'make' or 'make all' you should already have it, otherwise just do: -

-		      cd sxpm; make
-

-This application shows you most of the features of XPM and its source can be -used to quickly see how to use the provided functions. -

-By executing 'sxpm -help' you will get the usage. -

-Executing 'sxpm -plaid' will show a demo of the XpmCreatePixmapFromData -function. The pixmap is created from the static variable plaid defined in the -sxpm.c file. sxpm will end when you press the key 'q' in the created window. -

-Executing 'sxpm -plaid -sc lines_in_mix blue' will show the feature of -overriding color symbols giving a colorname, executing 'sxpm -plaid -sp -lines_in_mix 1' will show overriding giving a pixel value, and executing 'sxpm --plaid -cp red 0' will show overriding giving a color value. -

-Then you should try 'sxpm -plaid -o output' to get an output file using the -XpmWriteFileFromPixmap function. -

-You can now try 'sxpm -plaid -o - -nod -rgb /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt' to directly -get the pixmap printed out on the standard output with colornames instead of -rgb values. -

-Then you should try 'sxpm plaid.xpm' to use the XpmReadFileToPixmap function, -and 'cat plaid_mask.xpm|sxpm' to see how "transparent pixels" are handled. -

-The XpmCreatePixmapFromData function is on purpose called without any XpmInfos -flag to show the utility of this one. Indeed, compare the color section of the -two files foo and bar obtained from 'sxpm -nod -plaid -o foo' and 'sxpm -nod -plaid.xpm -o bar'. All the default colors and also the comments have been -restored. -

-To end look at plaid_ext.xpm and try "sxpm -nod plaid_ext.xpm -v" to see how -extensions are handled. -

-Of course, other combinations are allowed and should be tried. Thus, 'sxpm -plaid.xpm -o output -nod' will show you how to convert a file from XPM1 or XPM2 -to a XPM version 3 using sxpm. -

-See the manual page for more detail. - - -

6. CXPM

-The cxpm tool is provided to help you figure out whether an XPM file is correct -or not with regard to its format. If you have previously done 'make' or -'make all' you should already have it, otherwise just do: -

-		      cd cxpm; make
-

-The related man page will tell you everything about it but here is a simple -example of what it does: -

-$ ./cxpm bogus_pixmap
-Xpm Error: Invalid XPM file.
-Error found line 3 near character 5
-

-It is pretty limited but at least, unlike sxpm, it gives you some hint on where -the error occured within the file. - - -

7. Other Tools

-Several converters dealing with XPM and a pixmap editor can be found in the -xpm-contrib distribution. Also I recommend the use of netpbm to do any kind of -general image operations such as scaling, resizing, dithering, and to convert -from and to any other image format. - -

8. Discussion

-There is a mailing list to discuss about XPM which is xpm-talk@sophia.inria.fr. -Any request to subscribe should be sent to xpm-talk-request@sophia.inria.fr. -The archive of the xpm-talk list is available through the web at -http://zenon.inria.fr/koala/xpm-talk-hypermail -and through ftp at ftp://koala.inria.fr/pub/xpm/xpm-talk-archive -
