img-xpm(n)																img-xpm(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       img-xpm - Img, X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::xpm  ?1.4?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  package  img::xpm  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::xpm.

       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 Pixmap Format (xpm). More specifically img::xpm extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is xpm.  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 xpm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

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