1. How do I convert my images to or from XPM ?

-

- Netpbm is surely the best image conversion package that I know of. It defines - formats for color, gray and monochrome images and provides a set of filters. - Thus a GIF image can be converted to XPM with something like: -

- $ giftoppm youricon.gif | ppmtoxpm > youricon.xpm -

- The latest release can be found at least from wuarchive.wustl.edu - (128.252.135.4), directory /graphics/graphics/packages/NetPBM - - -

2. Why are my XPM files said to be invalid ?

-

- There are three official versions of the XPM format. The XPM library since - version 3.3 can read all them but writes out only XPM 3. Also the small - program called sxpm which is part of the XPM library package can be used to - automatically translate XPM 1 and 2 files to XPM 3 with a command such as: -

- $ sxpm -nod yourxpm1or2file -o yourxpm3file -

- Also, the XPM format defines "None" to be the color name meaning - "transparent", but IXI used to hack the XPM library in its early days to - handle transparency as "#Transparent". This makes IXI format not compatible - with the official XPM format, and so not readable neither by the official XPM - library nor any of the programs built on top of it. -

- The only solutions are either to stick on IXI programs which can deal with - their format or convert your files to the standard XPM format. This can be - done simply by changing "#Transparent" to "None". - - -

3. Why does my program core dumps using XPM ?

-

- Be sure the XpmAttributes structure you pass by reference has a valid - valuemask. You can give NULL instead if you don't want to use an - XpmAttributes but if you do, you MUST initialize its valuemask component to - some valid value, at least 0, otherwise unpredictable errors can occur. -

- So instead of doing something like: -

-      XpmAttributes attrib;
-
-      XpmReadFileToPixmap(dpy, d, filename, &pixmap, &mask, &attrib);
-
-

- you should do: -

-      XpmAttributes attrib;
-
-      attrib.valuemask = 0;
-      XpmReadFileToPixmap(dpy, d, filename, &pixmap, &mask, &attrib);
-
- - -

4. Why does my program core dumps using XPM with a widget ?

- - - -

5. How can I get a non rectangular icon using XPM ?

-

- The X Window System does not support transparent color. However there are - several ways you can use to get the same visual effect using XPM: -

- - -

6. What exactly triggers the creation of a mask when using XPM ?

-

- Basically a mask is created if "None" is used as one of the color of the - pixmap. Be aware that this is not only true if it is used in the XPM of the - pixmap since the colors can be overridden at load time. So a mask is created - if the "None" color is used at load time, coming either from the XPM - definition or the color overriding. - - -

7. How should I use the mask ?

-

- There are basically two ways of using the mask: -

- - -

8. Is there a string to pixmap converter for Motif ?

-

- Yes, Motif 2.0 or later does support XPM pixmaps as well as XBM bitmaps. - - -

9. How can I edit XPM icons ?

-

- As listed below several editors either commercial or not are supporting the - XPM format. However, pixmap is the one I would recommend since it is freely - available and, being fully dedicated to XPM, it allows to edit all the - special things, such as the symbolic color names, which makes XPM different - from all the other image formats. Pixmap can always be found by ftp from - ftp.x.org (contrib) and avahi.inria.fr (pub/pixmap). -

10. Is there a collection of icons somewhere ?

-

- At least there is one freely available: Anthony's X Icon Library. You can - found it on several ftp servers, such as server.berkeley.edu/pub/AIcons. It - contains only small icons (less than about 100x100 pixels in size) which are - stored in groups in a logical way. Color icons are stored in XPM format and - Black & White icons in XBM. - - -

11. The documentation fails to print out. Why ?

-

- The PostScript documentation file is formatted for US letter paper. Frame - Maker tries very hard to ensure that you have the right paper and punts if - you don't. However, you can easily work around this problem by applying the - following patch. If for some reason applying the patch fails, you can still - do it by hand. Just locate the corresponding block in the PS file and remove - the lines with a leading '-' character. - By the way, this applies to any doc generated by Frame Maker. The - corresponding block might be slightly different depending on which version of - Frame Maker was used, but it is still easy to locate. - -
