[comp.windows.x] xwd to gif conversion

gilderm@cs.rpi.edu (Mark Gilder) (01/24/91)

Does anyone have a utility to convert
the output from xwd to a gif format
(or any other PC supported format)?

Please email replies to:

Thanks

Using the PPM utilities, you can do this:

	xwdtoppm  simpsons.xwd | ppmtogif > simpsons.gif
	
	$ ll simp*
	-rw-r--r--   1 roger    econna     68506 Jun 10  1990 simp_tiny.xwd
	-rw-r--r--   1 roger    econna      4065 Jan 24 14:38 simp_tiny.gif

I don't know if the PPM utilities have been ported to the PC, 
but if not, there are zillions of other PC tools you can use (several anyway).
