Hi everyone! I would like to know if anyone out there know how to save a Pixmap file to disk. I just got a hold of the xloadimage software and it says that it can handle X11 Bitmap data and X Pixmap data. I can't find out how to go about creating a X Pixmap data file from an image on the screen. This is what I tried: - created an image in a window - created a pixmap with XCreatePixmap - saved the pixmap to a file using XWriteBitmapFile Whenever I try to load this into xloadimage, all I see is white background with black smudges. (my image is in color). So I thought that If I could save the image to a Pixmap file I may have better luck... If any of this makes sense, please e-mail me any thing that may be helpful. I think that I am getting confused about the formats. My address is : nancie@hal.CSS.GOV. Thanx nancie
