XPM (image format)

Sponsor with the world's largest charity for orphans
XPM (X PixMap) is an ASCII image format used by the X Window System. It was created in 1989 by Daniel Dardailler and Colas Nahaboo working in Inria Laboratories, France, and was later enhanced by Arnaud Le Hors. It is intended primarily for creating icons, and supports transparent color. It has a simple structure, deriving from the earlier XBM syntax. It can be created and manipulated using any text editor and can be included in a C language file.
