     The Icon Editor accepts all of the standard X Toolkit/Widget
     command   line   options.  Additional  application  specific
     options are listed below.

OPTIONS
     The following options are available from the command line:

     -f file
     This option takes a bitmap or pixmap file name.  If the file
     ends in .pm or .xpm suffix, it will try reading it as an XPM
     file first.  If it fails, it will try reading it as  an  XBM
     file.   If  the file ends in .bm or .xbm suffix, it will try
     reading it as an XBM file first.  If it fails, it  will  try
     reading it as an XPM file.  If the file doesn't match any of
     these suffixes, it will try reading it as an XPM file first.
     If it fails it will try reading it as an XBM file.

     -x widthxheight
     This option specifies  an  initial  geometry  for  the  icon
     image.  If a file is specified using the -f option, the size
     of that icon supersedes the geometry specified.

     -session file
     This option takes the name of a session  file  as  an  addi-
     tional parameter. The Icon Editor is invoked with the speci-
     fied session file name. The session file is a file that  was
     previously  saved by the Icon Editor through a session shut-
     down. This option causes all other command line  options  to
     be  ignored,  as  all  settings are taken from the specified
     session file.

RETURN VALUE
      Exit values are:

     0    Successful completion.

     >0   Error condition occurred.


EXAMPLES
     dticon -x 24x32
          Starts the Icon Editor with an icon template  of  width
          24 and height 32.



dticon Integration using ToolTalk
     [Using Tooltalk to integrate dticon  in  your  applications]
     Tooltalk  makes  it  possible to use dticon from within your
     application.  dticon supports the  following  Tooltalk  mes-
     sages:
         start
         edit
         quit

     An application can construct a Tooltalk message, which  will
     include  a buffer containing the icon the application wishes
     to edit. The format of the message appears in dticon's ptype
     file(  dticon.ptype). The buffer in the edit message is con-
     structed to contain the icon contents of an XPM  or  an  XBM
     icon file. In the case of an XBM icon containing transparent
     regions dticon generates two icon files, an  XBM  file  con-
     taining  the  base  icon(  the  icon without the transparent
     regions) and a mask  file  that  indicates  the  transparent
     regions  in  the  icon. The buffer in this case must include
     both icon files double buffered, the  base  icon  first  and
     then the mask, both in the same buffer.


     NOTE:
          An application may pass a buffer to  dticon  containing
          an  XPM icon and get back a double buffer containing an
          XBM icon and its mask, and vise versa.
