The Pixmap Image Type
Applications often use pixmaps rather than bitmaps for their icon images, because pixmaps provide more than two colors. Here’s how to do that:
my $pixmap = $mw->Pixmap(-file => 'Icon.xpm'); $mw->Icon(-image => $pixmap);
Pixmaps are plain text, so
they easily embed in your Perl/Tk program. The Pixmap constructor has
only one other option, -data, for just such a
case. The following Pixmap has four RGB colors: white, black,
tabby-orange, and green, represented by the characters
" ", .,
X, and o, respectively.
my $pixmap_data = <<'end-of-x11-pixmap-data'; /* XPM */ static char * Icon_xpm[] = { "32 32 4 1", " c #FFFFFFFFFFFF", ". c #000000000000", "X c #FFFFBDBD0000", "o c #0000FFFF0000", " ", " .. ..
