img-xbm

img-xbm(3tk)															      img-xbm(3tk)

NAME

       img-xbm - Img, X Windows Bitmap Format (xbm)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::xbm  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

DESCRIPTION

       The  package  img::xbm  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its
       own, via package require img::xbm.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports  files	containing
       raster images in the X Windows Bitmap Format (xbm). More specifically img::xbm extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is xbm.  This handler does not provide additional configuration options.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image data in xbm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name xbm is recognized by the option -format.
