.TH XTBIT 1 4/8/87
.UC 4
.SH NAME
xtbit \- X bitmap to TeX using \especial commands
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xtbit
\fIfile.xb\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIxtbit\fR program takes a bitmap in the X windows format
and prepares a file for inclusion in a TeX job.
Basically,
a box called \fI\egraph\fR is created containing a pointer to the bitmap file.
.PP
In most cases, users will desire to include window dumps,
not bitmaps in their TeX jobs.
The \fIxtwd\fR program will perform this function.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
tpic(l), bitmap(1), xtwd(l)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Obvious.
.SH BUGS
Owing to numerous deficiences in TeX's design and implementation,
it is not possible to include the actual bitmap inside the file produced by
\fIxtbit\fR.
Instead, \fIxtbit\fR includes a pointer to the bitmap file instead.
This means that when the DVI file is post\-processed
(e.g., by a TeX previewer such as \fIxdvi\fR or by the spooling system)
that the bitmap file must exist and be readable by the post\-processor.
