xpmtoppm(1)					      xpmtoppm(1)

NAME
       xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a PPM image

SYNOPSIS
       xpmtoppm	 [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose] [xpm_
       file]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as  input.   Pro
       duces a PPM file as output.

OPTIONS
       --alphaout=alpha-filename
	      xpmtoppm	creates	 a PBM file containing the trans
	      parency mask for the image.   If	the  input  image
	      doesn't	contain	  transparency	information,  the
	      alpha-filename file  contains  all  white	 (opaque)
	      alpha  values.   If  you	don't specify --alphaout,
	      xpmtoppm does not generate an alpha  file,  and  if
	      the  input image has transparency information, xpm
	      toppm simply discards it.

	      If you specify - as the filename,	 xpmtoppm  writes
	      the  alpha  output  to Standard Output and discards
	      the image.

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

       --verbose
	      xpmtoppm prints information about its processing on
	      Standard Error.

LIMITATIONS
       The support to XPM version 3 is limited. Comments can only
       be  single  lines  and  there  must  be	for every pixel a
       default colorname for a color type visual.
