PPM to XBM Conversion: FAQ
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
What are XBM files?
The XBM (X BitMap) format represents a monochrome image file usually used for storing cursor and icon bitmaps in the X graphical user interface. XBMs store data as C language data array, so they can be included directly into an application. They are, however, fairly large in size. In the late 1980s the XBM format was superseded by the XPM format for the X Windows System.
