I have an X/Motif application that I have written. I have a couple of gif files (or pict) that I have scanned in with a color scanner. Now I would like to be able to convert the gif files into a format that could be read into my application and displayed on the background of its main window. Preferably with pixmaps, or perhaps as an XImage. I have found functions in the pbmplus program suite to convert gif to xbm, but that is monochrome, and I really do need color. I have looked at xv, which reads in gif, and writes out several formats, but have not found a way to write out a file which can be read in as a pixmap. Is there an easy way to do this? email responses preferred. thanks!
