XpmImage

XpmImage is a file format for storing images, primarily used in X Window System environments. The XpmImage format is a text-based image file format that can store color pixel information. It is based on the XPM (X PixMap) format, which itself is a C-language array of characters representing pixels. XpmImage files can be embedded within other XPM files or used as standalone image resources. They are often used for icons, cursors, and other small graphical elements within graphical user interfaces. The format supports transparency, allowing certain pixels to be rendered as transparent. XpmImage files are generally small and can be easily parsed by programs. The format specifies the image's width, height, number of colors, and the mapping of characters to specific color values. This makes XpmImage a flexible and efficient format for certain types of graphical data.
