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
pixmap (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 pixmap(1) program).
IMAGE METHODS¶
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.
