Does anybody know if there is any editors for xpm (x pixmap) files ?
How about pixmap package ported to Linux ?  I downloaded
pixmap2.2.tar.gz, but could not compile.  There seems to be *lots of*
conflicts between the package and linux's "xpm.h" file.

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I believe xpaint can edit xpm, xbm, and other types of bitmaps.

   Try xpaint and pixmap, both available on ftp.x.org. I've built xpaint
 successfully on a Linux box. pixmap is one of the clients included in the
 contrib directory; the file names to look for are xpm-3.3.tar.gz and
 xpm-contrib-1.2.tar.gz.  For xpaint the file to look for is xpaint-2.1.1.tar.Z.

   It has problems with the newer releases of xpm. You'll have to do some
 tweaking of the code to get it to work. xpaint also has a problem understanding
 the 's none c none' used in xpm images to indicate "empty" pixels. The way around
 that is to change that line to a specific color (say black, by changing it to
 'c black'), editing the image with xpaint and then, using a text editor again,
 changing it back to 's none c none'.

The latest (beta?) version of Xpaint (available from any site mirroring
the X11 contrib directory, such as export.lcs.mit.edu in the /contrib
directory as file xpaint-2.1.b4.tar.Z) is capable of editing xpm files -
that is why I downloaded it myself.

Alternatively you could download the xpm package (also in contrib) which
contains source for 'ppmtoxpm' and 'xpmtoppm' which should let you
convert to a different format which you could then edit.

Hope this helps,
