dtbmfile(4)


CDE


NAME

  dtbmfile - format of X11 bitmap format desktop icon files


SYNOPSIS

   #define name_width width
      #define name_height height
      #define name_x_hot x
      #define name_y_hot y
      static unsigned char name_bits[] = {0xN,...}


DESCRIPTION

  X Bitmap (XBM) files are used for monochrome icons in the CDE. XBM icons
  specify background and foreground color only. They would be black and white
  on a black and white display. On a color display, they could be any two
  colors.  XBM files are not used exclusively for black and white icons. The
  CDE icon editor component can be used to create or modify a bitmap icon. A
  bitmap file is an ASCII file, but because the data is simply a binary
  representation of the icon, it is not realistic to edit this file by hand.
  X Bitmap files can be included directly in C source code, so the file data
  is in the form of a bitmap structure variable. X version 11 bitmap file
  format is the only icon file format officially supported as part of the X
  Window System at this time.


RETURN VALUE

  None.


EXAMPLES

  The following is an example of a bitmap file named julie.bm:

	   #define julie.bm_width 18
	   #define julie.bm_height 22
	   #define julie.bm_x_hot 0
	   #define julie.bm_y_hot 0
	   static char julie.bm_bits[] = {
	      0xff, 0xff, 0x03, 0x81, 0xc3, 0x02,
	      0xf1, 0x98, 0x03, 0x19, 0x18, 0x02,
	      0x05, 0x59, 0x02, 0x07, 0xdb, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0xdb, 0x02, 0x01, 0xdb, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0xdb, 0x02, 0x01, 0xdf, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0xff, 0x02, 0x01, 0xfe, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0x7c, 0x02, 0x01, 0x38, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0x38, 0x02, 0x01, 0x38, 0x02,
	      0x01, 0x38, 0x02, 0x01, 0x3f, 0x02,
	      0xe1, 0x33, 0x02, 0xb9, 0x31, 0x02,
	      0xcf, 0x1c, 0x02, 0xff, 0xff, 0x03};
