14 xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a PPM image
15 !!SYNOPSIS

17
18 __xpmtoppm__
19 [[__--alphaout=__{''alpha-filename'',__-__}]
20 [[__-verbose__] [[''xpmfile'']
21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 Reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input. Produces
25 a PPM file as output.
26 !!OPTIONS
27
28
29 __--alphaout=__''alpha-filename''
30
31
32 __xpmtoppm__ creates a PBM file containing the
33 transparency mask for the image. If the input image doesn't
34 contain transparency information, the ''alpha-filename''
35 file contains all white (opaque) alpha values. If you don't
36 specify __--alphaout__, __xpmtoppm__ does not generate
37 an alpha file, and if the input image has transparency
38 information, __xpmtoppm__ simply discards
39 it.
40
41
42 If you specify __-__ as the filename, __xpmtoppm__
43 writes the alpha output to Standard Output and discards the
44 image.

46
47 See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output
48 file.

54 __xpmtoppm__ prints information about its processing on
55 Standard Error.
56 !!LIMITATIONS
57
58
59 The support to XPM version 3 is limited. Comments can only
60 be single lines and there must be for every pixel a default
61 colorname for a color type visual.
