  • Specify the prefix string in the output XPM image:

ppmtoxpm -name prefix_string path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm

  • In the output XPM file, specify colors by their hexadecimal code instead of their name:

ppmtoxpm -hexonly path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm

  • Use the specified PGM file as a transparency mask:

ppmtoxpm -alphamask path/to/alpha_file.pgm path/to/input_file.ppm > path/to/output_file.xpm
