.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS XpmCreateDataFromImage
.PP
In some cases, one may want to create an XPM data from an XImage, to do so use
.BR XpmCreateDataFromImage ().
The
.BR XpmCreateDataFromImage ()
function exactly works as
.BR XpmWriteFileFromImage (__libmansuffix__)
does and returns the same way.
It just writes to a single block malloc’ed data instead of to a file.
It is the caller’s responsibility to free the data, using
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
when finished.

.SS XpmCreateDataFromPixmap
.PP
.BR XpmCreateDataFromPixmap ()
creates an XPM data from a Pixmap.
The
.BR XpmCreateDataFromPixmap ()
function uses
.BR XGetImage (__libmansuffix__)
to get from the given pixmaps
the related X images which are passed to
.BR XpmCreateDataFromImage ().
Then it destroys the created images using
.BR XDestroyImage (__libmansuffix__).
.BR XpmCreateDataFromPixmap ()
returns the same errors as
.BR XpmCreateDataFromImage ().

.SS XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage
.PP
.BR XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage ()
creates an XPM data from an XpmImage.
The
.BR XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage ()
function writes out the given image to a single block malloc’ed data in XPM format.
If insufficient working storage is allocated, it returns
.BR XpmNoMemory ,
and returns
.B XpmSuccess
on success.
If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL,
.BR XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage ()
looks for the following attributes:
XpmExtensions, and XpmHotspot, and writes the related information out as well.
It is the caller’s responsibility to free the data, using
.BR XpmFree (__libmansuffix__)
when finished.
