| 2561.1 | displaying your .XBM files | BACKUP::SYSTEM | | Tue Apr 03 1990 08:32 | 11 |

I am not sure why you want to display a bitmap on the screen. If
you simply want to see it, you could use a program found in the
ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES notes file (topic 248.0). This note is oriented
towards changing the DIGITAL logo but with the program given, you
can simply include your bitmap file (.XBM), compile, link and run.
Your bitmap will then be displayed. If you want to use one of your
.XBM files a the background on your workstation, look through the
above notesfile. If it can be done you will find it there.

| 2561.3 | A spiffy image viewer (Xloadimage) is available | VINO::WITHROW | Mass. recall petitions available here! | Tue Apr 03 1990 15:58 | 25 |
| Im not sure which program the preceeding person is recommending, but
there is a nice image viewer called Xloadimage. I have hacked it to
run on VMS, and you can get the package at:
VINO::BORDEAUX:[WITHROW.PUBLIC]XLOADIMAGE.SAV;1
which is a VMS saveset.
This program has several nice features such as:
- It knows several file formats, including XBM and GIF,
- It knows how to deal with compressed files. Compressed
XBM files typically occupy about 1/10th the space of
uncompressed ones.
- It can dither or halftone color images and display them on
mono screens.
- It can zoom images to almost any size (smaller or larger).
- It can display into the root window.
I offer no support on this, but I *may* attempt to fix bugs
if you send me mail...

| 2561.4 | Try UTOX | AIRBAG::SWATKO | Electrons are cheap. Trees are not. | Tue Apr 03 1990 17:06 | 4 |
| You might also want to check out UTOX. It will display Xbitmaps and can
also be used to set your workstation screen background.

I used paint on VMS5.1-1 to read in .XBM files and center them, so that I would
only get one image on the screen, instead 2 1/2 or so.
I would get an error, but the file would be read in completely.
I just retried with VMS 5.3, and had no problems.
When writing the file, be sure to X11 format if you want to keep the .XBM format
