Re: Converting pixmaps to bitmaps.

["Ian King" <king eiffel com>]

I am well aware of this fact, but this doesn't answer my question :)  I am
writing the linux implementation of EiffelVision 2 and our preferred
functionality is to have multifunction pixmaps (EV_PIXMAP's) that the user
can use anywhere applicable.  If a user creates an EV_PIXMAP, from say, a
PNG file, they may then manipulate this EV_PIXMAP and even use it as a
cursor.  If I had a 24bit pixmap, how can I convert it to a 1 bit pixmap
which may then be set as a cursor?

Thanks for your time.
