Convert XBM to UIL

The XBM (X11 Bitmap Graphic) file extension is a plain-text binary file format historically used in the X Window System to store monochrome bitmap images. Its primary use is for defining small, simple graphics such as icons and cursors. Originating from the 1980s, XBM files enable the inclusion of image data directly in C source code, facilitating easy integration and compilation within applications. While their use has declined with the advent of more advanced graphics formats, XBMs remain relevant for legacy systems and specific low-resource environments.

The UIL file extension stands for User Interface Language and is associated with the X-Motif UIL Table. It is a plain text file format used by the UIL compiler to create user interfaces for the X Window System. UIL files define menus, buttons, dialog boxes, and other graphical user interface components. Introduced by The Open Group, this format allows developers to describe the initial state of a user interface, including widgets, resources, and callbacks. The UIL file is compiled into a UID file, which can be accessed by Motif Resource Management functions within an application.
