NAME

       xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS

       xpmtoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose] [xpmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input.  Produces a PPM file as output.

OPTIONS

       --alphaout=alpha-filename
              xpmtoppm  creates  a  PBM file containing the transparency 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, xpmtoppm 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.
