Hi all.
I've come into possession of an xpm file containing an icon of the
Porsche shield. It is in four colors and looks like this:
#define porsche_format 1
#define porsche_width 64
#define porsche_height 64
#define porsche_ncolors 4
#define porsche_chars_per_pixel 1
static char *porsche_colors[] = {
" ", "slate blue",
".", "yellow",
"r", "red",
"b", "black"
};
static char *porsche_pixels[] = {
" ",
" ",
" bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb ",
" bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb ",
" bb............................................bb ",
" bb..bbbb..bbbb..bbbb..bbbb..bbbb..b..b..bbbb..bb ",

" bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbb.......b..b....bb ",
" bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbb.....b...b..b..b..bb ",
" bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbb....b...b..b..b..bb ",

" bbbrrrrrrrbb.......bbb ",
" bbbbrrrrrbb.....bbbb ",
" bbbbrrrbb...bbbb ",
" bbbbrbb.bbbb ",
" bbbbbbbb ",
" bbbb ",
" bb ",
" "
};
Now, how do I load this into X11 (particularly, using Xview) so I can
create a server image out of it? If I can get an X11 Pixmap and color
segment definition, I should be able to use a standard xv_create call
in Xview. However, how do I create an X Pixmap from this in the first
place.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to look at the xpm.tar.Z package on expo.lcs.mit.edu.
It contains the assembler and disassembler of the XPM files:
- XReadPixmapfile, XWritePixmapFile and XCreatePixmapFromData.

You'd better use XPM2 the new version of XPM with your pixmap file translated
to the following one:
/* XPM2 C */
static char *porsche_pixels[] = {
/* hints */
"64 64 4 1",
/* colors */
" c slateblue",
". c yellow",
"r c red",
"b c black",

The XPM2 package is a shar file which has been posted last week in
comp.windows.x and which is available by ftp on expo.lcs.mit.edu and on
avahi.inria.fr.

This is a rather old news article, but better late than never; I'm really behind in my news reading... In order to display an xpm (version 1) file you should get /contrib/xloadimage.1.06.tar.Z from expo.lcs.mit.edu. Believe version 1.03 is when Jim Frost added the xpm format. Also on expo you'll find /contrib/xpm.tar.Z which contains library routines that understand the format. If you don't have access to the internet you can uucp these files from X11 archive on zok. (Due to System V, filenames are condense.) The following commands will fetch these files: (The "\"'s are csh escapes, ignore them if you're using sh or ksh.) uucp zok\!/usrX/contrib/xldim106.tar.Z \!~ uucp zok\!/usrX/contrib/xpm.tar.Z \!~ See the monthly "Frequently Asked Questions about X with Answers" for info on how to set up a uucp connection to zok. For those of you interested in creating color xpm icons the following might be of interest. I created the above porsche.xpm the 'old fashioned way,' I used emacs. :-) Actually, I used "bitmap" to make a mono version named porsche.xbm and then converted that to xpm with the pbmplus "ppmtoxpm" tool that I wrote earlier this year, (see comp.sources.misc Vol 7, Issue 79, and then Vol 13, Issue 17 for a patchfile). The command used to create the porsche.xpm file was: (all on one line) xbmtopbm porsche.xmb | ppmtoxpm -name porsche -rgb /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt >porsche.xpm This results in a black&white xpm file that's easy to edit. I *really* did use emacs to add the color... :-) -- Mark Mark W.

Also on expo you'll find |/contrib/xpm.tar.Z which contains library routines that understand the |format. I don't know if the xpm stuff has been updated but originally it could only handle pixel lengths of (up to?) two characters. The loader I wrote (the one in xloadimage) will handle any length so it might be a little more flexible. The writing utility function in the xpm tar is pretty useful at any rate.
