# X Window Pixmap Image

X Pixmap is an ASCII-text-based image format used by the X Window System. It was created in 1989 at the INRIA, France, and was later enhanced. It is intended primarily for creating icon pixmaps, and supports transparent color. It has a simple structure. It can be created and manipulated using any text editor and can be included in a C language file.
Imaging supports loading and saving of XPM files (not XPM2 or XBM).
