💖 Pixmap(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Pixmap(3pm), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation bestie collection 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Tk::Pixmap — make color images out of XPM files, fr fr 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$widget->Pixmap?(name?,options?)?

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. XPM is this super popular X Window image file format for storing color icons, and the Pixmap image type is literally how you make color images using XPM files. no cap 💅

Pixmaps support the following options, bestie — read them all, don't skip 👑

  • -data => string — this one specifies the contents of the source pixmap as a string 🍓 the string must adhere to the XPM file format (like, the way the pixmap(1) program generates it, iykyk). and listen: if you specify both the -data and -file options, then -data takes precedence. periodt. 💅
⚠️ also pls be careful — the XPM file parsing code in the xpm library is somewhat fragile 😭 the first line of the string must be "/* XPM */", or otherwise a segmentation fault will be caused. like literally. not me warning you twice 🙈
  • -file => name — name gives the name of a file whose contents define the source pixmap 🌸 the file must adhere to the XPM file format (e.g., as generated by the pixmap(1) program).

✨ IMAGE METHODS ✨

when a pixmap image is created, Tk also creates a new object 🦋 and that object supports the configure and cget methods described in Tk::options, which you can use to enquire about and modify the options described above ✨ obsessed, honestly.
