Re: [vox-tech] reading bitmaps in XLib

[Mitch Patenaude]

The function XReadBitmapFile() almost certainly reads X bitmap files 
(.xbm).. which are different than Windows bitmap files (.bmp).  I don't 
know precisely how to read windows bitmaps, but I think that the GD 
image library is a good place to start looking.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to display a bitmap(.bmp) on the screen using xlib. I am 
using
XReadBitmapFile to load the bitmap but it is giving me a 
BitmapFileInvalid
on return. The bitmap seems not to be corrupted and I have tried other
bitmaps however I get the same problem. I am clueless as to why this 
is. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Julie.
