.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS XpmCreateDataFromImage
In some cases, one may want to create an XPM data from an XImage, to do so use XpmCreateDataFromImage.
The XpmCreateDataFromImage function exactly works asXpmWriteFileFromImage() 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 XpmFree when finished.

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

.SS XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage
XpmCreateDataFromXpmImage creates an XPM data from an XmImage.
The 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 XpmNoMemory, and returns XpmSuccess on success.
If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL, 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 XpmFree when finished.
