C++ Programming on Linux - LibX11 X window Graphic Load XBM Image Example

In our previous video, we introduced libX11 and created a simple C/C++ example to launch an X application on Linux, drawing basic graphic objects directly onto an X window. Generally say, drawing complex graphics using raw Xlib functions can be quite difficult. Most developers prefer using external tools to create images and save them to files. Then The X application just simply loads those files and displays them, making the process of rendering complex visuals much easier. In this short video, we will update our previous example to load an image from a file and display it on the X screen. The X Window System utilizes X BitMap (XBM), a plain text binary image format, to store cursor and icon bitmaps for the X GUI.
