About XPM Format

X PixMap

Color icons written as text.

Overview

XPM (X PixMap) is the usage successor to XBM. It allows for color images (and transparency) to be stored as C source code arrays. It was the standard format for icons in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and many Unix window managers.

Technical Details

An XPM file is valid C code defining a character array: `static char * icon[] = { ... }`. The data defines a color palette (mapping characters like '.' or '#' to hex colors) and then draws the image using those characters. This makes it human-readable and editable in a text editor.
