I wonder if there is an X command that creates bitmap files from windows if the windows are one-plane depth. Inside an application which it has drawable ID's inside, we can use the XWriteBitmapFile function. What I want to have is like 'xwd'; command, clicking a window by a mouse, and bitmap file output. We can get PostScrpt files using 'xwd' and some other commnads, but I want to get bitmap files so that I can use the window image in Xlib based application. Any command, or any alternative way to do that? I am also curious; are there any methods to translate from a PostScript file to a bitmap file, or vice versa? I want to know about translation between drawable(window or pixmap), bitmap files and PostScript. Any reference about that? Thanks. T.I.(Takeshi Inoue) GE. CR&D (518)372-3743

Surely it should be pretty easy to take xwd and replace the dumping code with a call to XWriteBitmapFile. (Not that I've looked at xwd's guts, but it can't be all that bad.) > We can get PostScrpt files using 'xwd' and some other commnads, but I > want to get bitmap files so that I can use the window image in Xlib > based application. Any command, or any alternative way to do that? Why not just use a pipeline like this? xwd | xwdtopbm | pbmtoxbm der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
