NAME

Image::Xbm2bmp - for converting image file from XBM to BMP.

SYNOPSIS

  use Image::Xbm2bmp;

  #Create a object from a xbm file
  my $obj = Image::Xbm2bmp->new("/tmp/test.xbm");

  #Create a object from array data
  my $xbm_width = 32;
  my $xbm_height = 24;
  my @xbm_data = (
                                        0x7c,0x3c,0x7c,0x3c,
                                        0xfe,0x7c,0xfe,0x7c,
                                        0xee,0xee,0xee,0xee,
                                        0xe0,0xee,0x60,0xee,
                                        0x70,0xfe,0x30,0xfe,
                                        0x38,0xec,0xe0,0xec,
                                        0x1c,0xe0,0xee,0xe0,
                                        0xfe,0x7e,0xfe,0x7e,
                                        0xfe,0x3c,0x7c,0x3c 
                                );
  my $obj = Image::Xbm2bmp->new();
  $obj->load_xbm_data(\@xbm_data,$xbm_width,$xbm_height);

  #Save as a BMP file
  $obj->to_bmp_file("/tmp/test.bmp");
  
  #Or get a packed data
  my $packed_data = $obj->to_bmp_pack();

  open(FILE,">/tmp/test.bmp");
  print FILE $packed_data;
  close(FILE);

  #In CGI script
  print "Content-type: image/bmp\n\n";
  print $obj->to_bmp_pack();

DESCRIPTION

XBM is a simple image format,we can show a dynamic picture easily via it,so some CGI use xbm file,but it can't be used in browser at WindowsXP(sp2),so we need a module to converting it.

EXPORT

None by default.
