I know it's VERY trivial, but if you give bitmap a silly name (i.e. 40x40),
it will output code that won't work (the foo_bits, foo_width... will start
with numbers and not be legal C names). It confused me for a few minutes.
Just a thought... Thanx.
I don't think this is going to get fixed, because although names like
"40x40" produce illegal C names, they are perfectly legal bitmap
names, and the X routines that read in bitmap files will accept them
with no problems. If you're creating a bitmap for inclusion in a C
program, I believe it's your job to make sure that the name you give
it is valid....
