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



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

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::xpm  ?1.3?

       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 specif-ically specifically
       ically 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.
