    inline XPM data

    Does anyone know what "inline XPM data" is? I need this for gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data, which accepts a pointer to a const char list (**). Why does this need to be a list? An xpm will work in a normal char buffer just like any other image, right? But if it needs to be passed as a list, how do I structure it?

    It looks like XPM is an array of strings (pointers thereof).

    Thanks for that one. I was just looking at the array for the binary copy of the xpm:

    Code:
    char on1_xpm[]={47, 42, 32, 88, 80, 77, 32, 42, 47, 10, 115, 116, 97, 116, 105, 99, 32, 99, 104, 97, 114, 32, 42, 32, 119, 9
    7, 
    116, 99, 104, 111, 110, 95, 120, 112, 109, 91, 93, 32, 61, 32, 123, 10, 34, 50, 48, 32, 50, 48, 32, 53, 52, 32, 
    49, 34, 44, 10, 34, 32, 9, 99, 32, 78, 111, 110, 101, 34, 44, 10, 34, 46, 9, 99, 32, 35, 68, 48, 50, 67, 
    49, 48, 34, 44, 10, 34, 43, 9, 99, 32, 35, 67, 66, 50, 49, 48, 67, 34, 44, 10, 34, 64, 9, 99, 32, 35, 
    67, 54, 49, 55,   //etc
    and unlike other image types all the values are characters, so I imagine this shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

    [later]
    lesson: xpm's aren't even binaries, they're text viewable c source
