NAME
dtpmfile - format of X Pixmap (XPM) format desktop icon
files
SYNOPSIS
/* XPM */
static char * icon_name[] = {
"width height num_colors chars_per_pixel [x_hot y_hot]",
"char {key color}+",
...
" pixels ",
...
};
DESCRIPTION
Pixmap icons are multi-color images based on the XPM (X Pix-
Map) format developed by Arnaud Le Hors. A pixmap file is
an ASCII file, which can be read and modified by hand, in
addition to the use of color pixmap editors (like the Icon
Editor). The XPM format was designed specifically for small
"icon" images. XPM files can be included directly in C
source code, so the file data is in the form of a pixmap
structure variable. A pixmap file can be broken down into
three main components: generic pixmap information, pixmap
colors, and the actual pixmap data.
The generic pixmap file contains the following information:
o pixmap name
o pixmap width
o pixmap height
o number of colors used in pixmap
o number of characters per pixel
o x hot-spot and y hot-spot (optional)
Each color used in the pixmap is defined by a string con-
taining the following information:
o character(s) used to represent this color in pix-
map data
o symbolic name for this color
o mono visual to use for this color (that is,
black/white)
o color visual by name ("red") or RGB value

o gray scale visuals (most TED icons do not include
gray scale data)
The data itself is simply strings of symbols representing
colors. There is one string per column of the pixmap, and
this data will resemble the actual icon.
More detailed information on the XPM library API and file
format is available with the XPM package from Arnaud Le
Hors.
For documentation on the XPM Library, questions, sugges-
tions, etc., send electronic mail to lehors@sophia.inria.fr.
There is an email group to discuss XPM issues that you can
subscribe to by writing to xpm-talk-request@sophia.inria.fr.
The latest release, along with an archive of the mailing
list, is available by anonymous ftp on avahi.inria.fr
(138.96.24.30) or export.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.238).
RETURN VALUE
None.
EXAMPLES
The following is a pixmap that can be used to represent an
executable file. The icon has a 3-D border around it and
contains a lightning bolt.
