I need to know the format for a file holding a bit-map image for display
under X windows V10. This file format will have to handle images of different
sizes. What are the functions for displaying this image?

The bitmap storage format is documented in the bitmap(1) manual page. >What are the functions for displaying this image? You want to start with a look at XReadBitmapFile(), as defined in Xlib/XReadBitmapF.c. If you plan on using larger bitmaps (like a full-screen background), you probably want to change the line while ((status = fscanf (file, "#define %80s %2d\n", variable, &value))==2) to while ((status = fscanf (file, "#define %80s %d\n", variable, &value))==2) -- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@cis.ohio-state.edu or ...!cbosgd!osu-cis!bob
