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 three functions, similar to the
X bitmap functions as defined in the Xlib: XCreatePixmapFromData,
XReadPixmapFile and XWritePixmapFile for respectively including, reading and
writing this format.

This new version provides a C includable format, defaults for different types
of display: monochrome/color/grayscale, and symbol names for colors for
overriding default colors when creating the pixmap. In addition it provides a
structure for storing information while reading a file which is re-used while
writing. This way comments, default colors and symbol names aren't lost.

DISCUSSION:
==========

There is a mailing list to discuss about XPM which is xpm-talk@mirsa.inria.fr.
Any request to subscribe should be sent to xpm-talk-request@mirsa.inria.fr.
