NAME
pixmap - image type for the XPM file format.
SYNOPSIS
image create pixmap ?name? ?options?
DESCRIPTION
XPM is a popular X Window image file format for storing color icons.
The pixmap image type defined by the Tix(n) library can be used to
create color images using XPM files.
CREATING PIXMAPS
Like all images, pixmaps are created using the image create command.
Pixmaps support the following options:
-data string
Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a string. The
string must adhere to the XPM file format (e.g., as generated by
the pixmap(1) program). If both the -data and -file options are
specified, the -data option takes precedence. Please note that
the XPM file parsing code in the xpm library is extremely
fragile. The first line of the string must be "/* XPM */" or
otherwise a segmatation fault will be caused.
-file name
name gives the name of a file whose contents define the source
pixmap. The file must adhere to the XPM file format (e.g., as
generated by the pixmap(1) program).
IMAGE COMMAND
When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new command whose
name is the same as the image. This command may be used to invoke
various operations on the image. It has the following general form:
imageName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for pixmap images:
imageName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the image
create pixmap command.
imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options for the image. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for imageName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
information on the format of this list). If option is specified
with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the
corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified,
then the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given
value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.
Option may have any of the values accepted by the image create
pixmap command.
