[gentoo-user] 16 colours xpm

[Uwe Thiem]

Anybody in the know how to generate an xpm image with 16 colours and 1 
character per pixel? I mean other than using vi. ;-) Alternatively, 
converting an image to that format would do for me.

imagemagick is your friend :-)

# emerge -avt imagemagick

The following isn't tested, read the man page if it doesn't work...

$ convert -size 800x600 -colors 16 -depth 8 image.png image.xpm

I solved it with "convert" from ImageMagick as pointed out by someone else.

Tell me, how to you tell The GIMP to save as xpm with 16 colours and one 
character per pixel? It simply doesn't do it. :-(
