The bitmap program is a rudimentary tool for creating or editing rectangular images made up of 1's and 0's.
|
|
|
|
Bitmaps are used in X for defining clipping regions, cursor shapes, icon shapes, and tile and stipple patterns.

|
The bmtoa and atobm filters convert bitmap files to and from ASCII strings.
|
|
|
|
They are most commonly used to quickly print out bitmaps and to generate versions for including in text.
