DESCRIPTION

16       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
17
18       ximptoppm  reads  an Xim file as input and produces a PPM image as out‐
19       put.  The Xim toolkit is included in the contrib tree  of  the  X.V11R4
20       release.

OPTIONS

24       You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.

28       --alphaout=alpha-filename
29              ximtoppm  creates a PGM file containing the transparency channel
30              values in the input image.  If the input image doesn't contain a
31              transparency  channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero
32              (transparent)  transparency  values.   If  you   don't   specify
33              --alphaout,  ximtoppm does not generate a transparency file, and
34              if the input image has a transparency channel,  ximtoppm  simply
35              discards it.
36
37              If  you  specify  -  as the filename, ximtoppm writes the trans‐
38              parency output to Standard Output and discards the image.
39
40              Actually, an Xim image can contain an arbitrary  fourth  channel
41              -- it need not be a transparency channel.  ximtoppm extracts any
42              fourth channel it finds as described above; it doesn't matter if
43              it is a transparency channel or not.
44
45              See pamcomp(1) for one way to use the transparency output file.
