NAME
Tk::Pixmap - Create color images from XPM files.
SYNOPSIS
$widget->Pixmap?(name?,options?)?
DESCRIPTION
XPM is a popular X Window image file format for storing
color icons. The Pixmap image type can be used to create
color images using XPM files.
Pixmaps support the following options:
- -data => string
- Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a
string. The string must adhere to the XPM file format
(e.g., as generated by the ppiixxmmaapp(1) program). If both the -data and -file options are specified, the -data option takes precedence. Please note that the XPM
file parsing code in the xpm library is somewhat frag
ile. The first line of the string must be "/* XPM */"
or otherwise a segmatation fault will be caused. - -file => name
- name gives the name of a file whose contents define
the source pixmap. The file must adhere to the XPM
file format (e.g., as generated by the ppiixxmmaapp(1) pro gram).
IMAGE METHODS
When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new
object. This object supports the configure and cget meth
ods described in Tk::options which can be used to enquire
and modify the options described above.
