Detail: In emacs, it seems the default image format is xpm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap For example, the emacs logo, widget graphics, all seems to be xpm =20 format at dir =E2=80=9Cetc/images/=E2=80=9D. The xpm image format is some 19 years old tech based on ascii text, =20 very bulky. png or svg are perhaps good candidates. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
