xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a portable pixmap

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

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

• --alphaout= alpha-filename
      .B xpmtoppm creates a PBM file containing the transparency mask for the image. If the input image doesn't contain transparency information, the alpha-filenamefile contains all white (opaque) alpha values. If you don't specify

R --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

R pnmcomp (1) for one way to use the alpha output file.

--verbose

    .B xpmtoppm prints information about its processing on Standard Error.

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.
