  • Convert a PPM image to a XPM image:
    ppmtoxpm path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm

    ppmtoxpm -name prefix_string path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm
  • In the output XPM file, specify colors by their hexadecimal code instead of their name:

  • Use the specified PGM file as a transparency mask:
    ppmtoxpm -alphamask path/to/alpha_file.pgm path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm
