Actually none of them does, as none of them cause a write to file, both
will open a window show it and close, saving nothing.
I'll either need to use a write to file (which is not an XPM as gs doesn't
do XPM), or use the old method.
I prefer the old method (letting gs draw on a window) since it requires
less work on an X machine, any other option will require a method to load
a file from the disc and will make gs become only a transformation tool.
Lars, you formerly said that XForms can load various formats, I've found
no way to do that, besides XPM and X bitmaps, can you give a pointer?
