About the XPM format
XPM — X Windows Pixmap
XPM is a color bitmap format used in the X Window System on Unix and Linux. It stores images as ASCII text (valid C source code), making it human-readable and easily embeddable in source code. It was widely used for icons and UI elements in early Linux desktop environments.
Common uses
- X11 Linux desktop icons and graphics
- Embedding images directly in C/C++ source code
- Legacy GTK and Motif application icons
