description
Reads an Xim
file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. The Xim
toolkit is included in the contrib tree of the X.V11R4
release.
options
--alphaout=alpha-filename
ximtoppm creates a PGM
(portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values
in the input image. If the input image doesn’t contain
an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file contains
all zero (transparent) alpha values. If you don’t
specify --alphaout, ximtoppm does not generate
an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel,
ximtoppm simply discards it.
If you specify
- as the filename, ximtoppm writes the alpha
output to Standard Output and discards the image.
Actually, an
Xim image can contain an arbitrary fourth channel -- it need
not be an Alpha channel. ximtoppm extracts any fourth
channel it finds as described above; it doesn’t matter
if it is an alpha channel or not.
See
pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output
file.
All options can
be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
