SYNOPSIS
int XpmCreateImageFromData(Display *display, char **data, XImage
**image_return, XImage **shapeimage_return, XpmAttributes
*attributes);
int XpmCreateImageFromBuffer(Display *display, char *buffer, XImage

ARGUMENTS
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
data Specifies the location of the data.
image_return
Returns the image which is created.
shapeimage_return
Returns the shape mask image which is created if the color None is
used.
attributes
Specifies the location of a structure to get and store information
(or NULL).
shapeimage
Specifies the shape mask image which is created if any.
DESCRIPTION
XpmCreateImageFromData
To create an XImage from an XPM data, use XpmCreateImageFromData.
The XpmCreateImageFromData function allows you to include in your C
program an XPM file which was written out by functions such as
XpmWriteFileFromImage or XpmWriteFileFromPixmap without reading in the
file. XpmCreateImageFromData exactly works as XpmReadFileToImage() does
and returns the same way. It just reads data instead of a file. Here
again, it is the caller's responsibility to free the returned images, the
colors and possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes structure.
XpmCreateImageFromBuffer
To create an XImage from an XPM buffer, use XpmCreateImageFromBuffer.
The XpmCreateImageFromBuffer function works the same way as
XpmReadFileToImage(), it just parses the buffer instead of the file. Be
aware that the feature provided on some systems by XpmReadFileToImage to
deal with compressed files is not available here.
XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage
To create an XImage from an XpmImage, use XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage.
From the given XpmImage and XpmAttributes if not NULL,
XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage allocates colors and creates X images
following the same mechanism as XpmReadFileToImage(). When finished the
caller must free the images using XDestroyImage, the colors using
XFreeColors, and possibly the data returned into the XpmAttributes using
XpmFreeAttributes().
