NAME
        xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a PPM image
 
 
SYNOPSIS
        xpmtoppm  [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose] [xpm­
        file]
 
 
DESCRIPTION
        Reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as  input.   Pro­
        duces a PPM file as output.
 
 
OPTIONS
        --alphaout=alpha-filename
               xpmtoppm  creates  a PBM file containing the trans­
               parency mask for the image.   If  the  input  image
               doesn't   contain   transparency  information,  the
               alpha-filename file  contains  all  white  (opaque)
               alpha  values.   If  you  don't specify --alphaout,
               xpmtoppm does not generate an alpha  file,  and  if
               the  input image has transparency information, xpm­
               toppm simply discards it.
 
               If you specify - as the filename,  xpmtoppm  writes
               the  alpha  output  to Standard Output and discards
               the image.
 
               See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha  output
               file.
 
        --verbose
               xpmtoppm prints information about its processing on
               Standard Error.
 
 
 LIMITATIONS
        The support to XPM version 3 is limited. Comments can only
        be  single  lines  and  there  must  be  for every pixel a
        default colorname for a color type visual.
