ITEM: RTA000053037



QUESTION:                                                                       
                                                                                
Are there performance numbers for graphics formats used in a window?            
Can any formats be copied without conversion?                                   
What commands and C function interfaces are available to write                  
graphics and graphics file data to an X-window (both directly                   
and with conversion)?                                                           
                                                                                
My customer has an energy management application in which they may              
look at and capture weather information (in graphical format) and               
send it to a RISC System to be displayed.

A: Images to be presented in X11 windows use XPutImage() on                     
   a datastructure called an XImage.  The XImage can be                        
   in 3 formats:  XYBitmap, ZPixmap, and XYPixmap.                              
   You may find packages that export these formats directly                     
   without conversion.
