NAME
sxpm - Show an XPM (X PixMap) file and/or convert XPM2 files
to XPM version 3.
SYNOPSIS
sxpm [-d displayname] [-g geometry] [-hints] [-icon
filename] [-s symbol color_name] [-p symbol pixel_value] [-
plaid | filename | -] [-o filename | -o -] [-nod] [-rgb
filename] [-c] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The sxpm program can be used to view any XPM (version 2 or
3) file and/or to convert a file from XPM2 to XPM version 3.
If sxpm is run without any option specified, the usage is
displayed. If no geometry is specified, the show window will
have the size of the read pixmap. Pressing the key Q in the
window will quit the program.
OPTIONS
-d display
Specifies the display to connect to.
-g geom Window geometry (default is pixmap's size).
-hints Set ResizeInc for window.
-icon filename
Set icon to pixmap created from the file filename.
-s symbol colorname
Overwrite default color to symbol to colorname.
-p symbol pixelvalue
Overwrite default color to symbol to pixelvalue.
-closecolors
Try to use "close colors" before reverting to other
visuals.
-plaid Show the plaid pixmap which is stored as data.
filename
Read from the file filename and from standard input
if filename is '-'. If no input is specified sxpm
reads from standard input.
-o filename
Write to the file filename (overwrite if it already
exists) and to standard output if filename is '-'.
-nod Do not display the pixmap in a window. (Useful when
using as converter)

SXPM(1) UNIX System V SXPM(1)-rgb filename
Search color names in the file filename and write
them out instead of the rgb values.
-c To use a private colormap.
-v Verbose - to print out extensions (stderr).
KNOWN BUGS
When converting a file from XPM2 to XPM version 3, if
several pixels (symbols) get the same color only one will be
in the file written out.
Some window managers may not accept a pixmap which is not a
bitmap as icon because this does not respect ICCCM, many of
the well known ones will accept it though.
