xpm.el (et al) 1.0.0 available

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

Greetings earthlings,

Please find at GNU ELPA version 1.0.0 of xpm.el (et al):

 http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/xpm.html

As this is the initial release, there is no substantial NEWS.
Instead, i include here for the web-disinclined the full xpm.el
Commentary (note important :-D links at bottom):

 This package makes editing XPM images easy (and maybe fun).
 Editing is done directly on the (textual) image format,
 for maximal cohesion w/ the Emacs Way.

 Coordinates have the form (X . Y), with X from 0 to (width-1),
 and Y from 0 to (height-1), inclusive, in the 4th quadrant;
 i.e., X grows left to right, Y top to bottom, origin top-left.

   (0,0)        … (width-1,0)
     ⋮                    ⋮
   (0,height-1) … (width-1,height-1)

 In xpm.el (et al), "px" stands for "pixel", a non-empty string
 in the external representation of the image.  The px length is
 the image's "cpp" (characters per pixel).  The "palette" is a
 set of associations between a px and its "color", which is an
 alist with symbolic TYPE and and string CVALUE.  TYPE is one of:

   c  -- color (most common)
   s  -- symbolic
   g  -- grayscale
   g4 -- four-level grayscale
   m  -- monochrome

 and CVALUE is a string, e.g., "blue" or "#0000FF".  Two images
 are "congruent" if their width, height and cpp are identical.

 This package was originally conceived for non-interactive use,
 so its design is spartan at the core.  However, we plan on
 adding a XPM mode in a future release; see HACKING link below.

 For now, the features (w/ correspondingly-named files) are:
 - xpm          -- edit XPM images
 - xpm-m2z      -- ellipse/circle w/ fractional center

 Some things are autoloaded.  Which ones?  Use the source, Luke!
 (Alternatively, just ask on help-gnu-emacs (at gnu dot org).)

If you are not adventurous, you might find the screenshot of xpm in
action at the Tip Jar link pleasant to pass your eyes over, anyway.
