SYNOPSIS
       xwintoppm  [-debug]  [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out file] [-xy]	[-frame] [-add

DESCRIPTION
       Xwintoppm is an X Window	System window dumping utility.	Xwintoppm  al-
       lows  X	users  to store	window images in ppm(5)	format.	 This file can
       then be read by various other  X	 utilities  for	 redisplay,  printing,
       editing,	formatting, archiving, image processing, etc.

OPTIONS
       -display	display
	       This  argument  allows you to specify the server	to connect to;
	       see X(1).

       -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

       -nobdrs This argument specifies that the	window dump should not include
	       the pixels that compose the X window border.  This is useful in
	       situations where	you may	wish to	include	the window contents in
	       a document as an	illustration.

       -out file
	       This argument allows the	user to	explicitly specify the	output
	       file on the command line.  The default is to output to standard
	       out.

       -xy     This  option  applies  to  color	displays only. It selects `XY'
	       format dumping instead of the default `Z' format.

       -add value
	       This option specifies an	signed value  to  be  added  to	 every
	       pixel.

       -frame  This  option  indicates that the	window manager frame should be
	       included	when manually selecting	a window.

       -root   This option indicates that the root window should  be  selected
	       for  the	 window	 dump,	without	requiring the user to select a
	       window with the pointer.

       -id id  This option indicates that the window with  the	specified  re-
	       source  id  should be selected for the window dump, without re-
	       quiring the user	to select a window with	the pointer.

       -name name
	       This option  indicates  that  the  window  with	the  specified
	       WM_NAME	property should	be selected for	the window dump, with-
	       out requiring the user to select	a window with the pointer.

       -icmap  Normally	the colormap of	the chosen window is  used  to	obtain
	       RGB values.  This option	forces the first installed colormap of
	       the screen to be	used instead.

       -screen This  option indicates that the GetImage	request	used to	obtain
	       the image should	be done	on the root window,  rather  than  di-
	       rectly  on  the	specified window.  In this way,	you can	obtain
	       pieces of other windows that overlap the	specified window,  and
	       more  importantly,  you	can capture menus or other popups that
	       are independent windows but appear over the specified window.

       -silent Operate silently, i.e. don't ring any bells  before  and	 after
	       dumping the window.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY To get default host and display number.
