Convert XPM to UIL

The XPM (X PixMap) file extension is a format used for storing pixmap images, primarily in the X Window System for Unix-based systems. Developed in the late 1980s, it allows for the storage of images in plain text, making it human-readable and editable. XPM files are mainly utilized for defining icons and graphical elements in software applications. They support transparency and can be easily integrated into programming languages such as C, enhancing the customization and visual appeal of user interfaces. The format's simplicity and flexibility have cemented its role in software development and graphical design.

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.
