XReadBitmapFile for color images

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I've implemented a small module to load Xpixmap files in memory and display them using the x11 module, similar to the X11 XReadBitmapFile function.

Let me know if you want to have it copied in your use cases or if you want to work with me on an implementation of this function in node-x11.

link to the module : https://www.npmjs.com/package/xpixmap

Hi @klepthys , saw that, nice!
I'm happy to point to your library from readme, but I don't see as part of node-x11 - the intention if this library is to be close to x11 wire protocol ( similar request names, parameters and functionality etc ), not to xlib or xcb. If you want, we could have an example using your lib in /examples with its own package.json pointing to npm xpixmap

OK. that's what I thought, and why I made my own module and not propose a PR but I wanted to ask just to be sure I wasn't unnecessarily duplicating work.

I'd like to improve the code further, then I will propose a PR with an example image and a copy of the lib as done in the other examples.

I'll come back to you when it's ready.
