General Description
The XWD (X Window Dump) format is used specifically to store screen dumps created by the X Window System.
The default extension is XWD.
Supporting Platforms and Applications
UNIX X Window.
PMView Support
There are currently 6 different image classes; StaticGray, GrayScale,StaticColor, PseudoColor, TrueColor, and DirectColor. PMView is able to read all these types. Supported pixmap formats are XYBitmap, XYPixmap and ZPixmap. For XYPixmaps and ZPixmaps PMView accepts a depth of 1 to 16 pixels for grayscale and colormapped XWDs, and 1..32 pixels for color XWDs. PMView handles both chunky (ZPixmap) and planar data (XYPixmap). PMView reads X10 and X11 X Window dump files.
