XWD file conversion ideas?

[10Things_Rob]

Hi all,

Anyone have any experience with XWD files?

I want to know how I can get a way to convert them into some more windows-friendly format like BMP?

Thanks.

I assume XWD files are X-Window Dump image files.  I just checked, and ImageMagick <imagemagick.org> supports reading/writing XWD files.  You can either call the "convert" program from a shell, or find a way to call the library directly.  My preference would be PNG over BMP.
