DESCRIPTION

   The  package img::pixmap is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a
   part of the complete Img support, via package require Img,  or  on  its
   own, via package require img::pixmap.

   Like  all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends
   the existing Tk command image.

   In contrast to all other sub packages this  packages  does  not  extend
   Tk's photo image type, but rather provides a completely new image type,
   on the same level as photo and bitmap.

CREATING PIXMAPS

   Like all images, pixmaps are created using the image create command.

   image create pixmap ?name? ?options?
          Pixmaps support the following options:

          -data string
                 Specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a  string.
                 The  string  must  adhere  to X11 pixmap format (e.g., as
                 generated by the pixmap program). If both the  -data  and
                 -file  options  are  specified,  the  -data  option takes
                 precedence.

          -file name
                 name gives the name of a file whose contents  define  the
                 source  pixmap. The file must adhere to X11 pixmap format
                 (e.g., as generated by the pixmap program).

IMAGE COMMAND

   When a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates  a  new  command  whose
   name  is  the  same  as  the image.  This command may be used to invoke
   various operations on the image.  It has the following general form:

   imageName option ?arg arg ...?

   Option and the args determine the exact behavior of  the  command.  The
   following commands are possible for pixmap images:

   imageName cget option
          Returns  the  current value of the configuration option given by
          option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the  image
          create pixmap command.

   imageName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
          Query  or  modify the configuration options for the image. If no
          option is specified,  returns  a  list  describing  all  of  the
          available   options  for  imageName  (see  Tk_ConfigureInfo  for
          information on the format of this list). If option is  specified
          with  no  value,  then the command returns a list describing the
          one  named  option  (this  list  will  be   identical   to   the
          corresponding  sublist  of  the  value  returned if no option is
          specified).  If one or more option-value  pairs  are  specified,
          then  the command modifies the given option(s) to have the given
          value(s); in this case the  command  returns  an  empty  string.
          Option  may  have any of the values accepted by the image create
          pixmap command.
