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 fragile. 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) program).

       When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new object.  This
       object supports the configure and cget methods described in Tk::options
       which can be used to enquire and modify the options described above.
