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 com mand 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 identi cal 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.
