XPM support for Mac? - jdc3 - 11-02-2017

Hello,

Looks like this may be related to missing native X11 support but does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows images to be saved as xpm files in MacOS Sierra?

Thanks.

AFAIK The XPM export is part of standard Gimp. This [attachment=904] export as:

Code:

/* XPM */

static char * checkers_xpm[] = {

"20 20 2 1",

"     c #000000",

".    c #FEFEFE",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"          ..........",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          ",

"..........          "};

by just using the .xpm extension in the file export file selection dialog.

Not for MacOSX - it doesn't recognize the format and is not one of the listed image formats. I was hoping that they would address that in a later release but as of 2.10.6, still no Mac XPM support. Thanks, though.

Yes, indeed the source code seems to depend on some Linux-only libs...

There is an issue raised for this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/919
