NAME

       unihex2bmp - GNU Unifont .hex file to bitmap graphics file converter

SYNOPSIS

       unihex2bmp [-phexpage] [-iinput_file] [-ooutput_file] [-f] [-w]

DESCRIPTION

       unihex2bmp  reads  a  GNU Unifont .hex file Unicode page of 256 code points and converts the page into a Microsoft Windows Bitmap (.bmp) or
       Wireless Bitmap (.wbmp) file.  The bitmap file displays the glyphs of a Unicode block of 256 code points in a 32 by  32	pixel  grid.   The
       glyphs  themselves  must  be  16  rows,	and either 8 columns or 16 columns wide. The default page is 0; that is, the range U+0000 throught
       U+00FF.

       The bitmap can be printed.  It can also be edited with a bitmap editor.	An edited bitmap can then be re-converted into a GNU Unifont  .hex
       file with the unibmp2hex command.

OPTIONS

       -ppagenum   Extract page pagenum from the .hex file.  The default is Page 0 (Unicode range U+0000 through U+00FF).  Note that "page" is not
		   a standard Unicode term.  It refers to an output bitmap graphics page of 16 by 16 code points.

       -i	   Specify the input file. The default is stdin.

       -o	   Specify the output file. The default is stdout.

       -f	   "Flip" (transpose) the grid so it matches the Unicode standard order.

       -w	   Produce a Wireless Bitmap format file instead of a Microsoft Windows Bitmap file.

FILES

       *.hex GNU Unifont font files

BUGS

       No known real bugs exist, except that this software does not perform extensive error checking on its input files.  If they're  not  in  the
       format  of  the	original  GNU Unifont hex file, all bets are off.  Lines can be terminated either with carriage return, or carriage return
       plus line feed.

NAME

       Tk::Bitmap - Images that display two colors

SYNOPSIS

	   $image = $widget->Bitmap?(name??,options?)

DESCRIPTION

       A bitmap is an image whose pixels can display either of two colors or be transparent.  A bitmap image is defined by four things:  a
       background color, a foreground color, and two bitmaps, called the source and the mask.  Each of the bitmaps specifies 0/1 values for a
       rectangular array of pixels, and the two bitmaps must have the same dimensions.	For pixels where the mask is zero, the image displays
       nothing, producing a transparent effect.  For other pixels, the image displays the foreground color if the source data is one and the
       background color if the source data is zero.

CREATING BITMAPS

       Bitmaps are created using $widget->Bitmap.  Bitmaps support the following options:

       -background => color
	   Specifies a background color for the image in any of the standard ways accepted by Tk.  If this option is set to an empty string then
	   the background pixels will be transparent.  This effect is achieved by using the source bitmap as the mask bitmap, ignoring any
	   -maskdata or -maskfile options.

       -data => string
	   Specifies the contents of the source bitmap as a string.  The string must adhere to X11 bitmap format (e.g., as generated by the bitmap
	   program).  If both the -data and -file options are specified, the -data option takes precedence.

       -file => name
	   name gives the name of a file whose contents define the source bitmap.  The file must adhere to X11 bitmap format (e.g., as generated
	   by the bitmap program).

       -foreground => color
	   Specifies a foreground color for the image in any of the standard ways accepted by Tk.

       -maskdata => string
	   Specifies the contents of the mask as a string.  The string must adhere to X11 bitmap format (e.g., as generated by the bitmap
	   program).  If both the -maskdata and -maskfile options are specified, the -maskdata option takes precedence.

       -maskfile => name
	   name gives the name of a file whose contents define the mask.  The file must adhere to X11 bitmap format (e.g., as generated by the
	   bitmap program).

IMAGE METHODS

       When a bitmap image is created, Tk also creates a new object.  This object supports the configure and cget methods described in Tk::options
       which can be used to enquire and modify the options described above.
