X-Face encoder/decoder/viewer for Emacsen
Now the X-Face utility for Emacs 21 is available at: ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/elisp/x-face-e21.el.gz We strongly recommend you use it rather than this module if you are using Emacs 21 having a new redisplay engine. This module provides the following five commands. Each command name expresses its function literally: x-face-encode Read an XBM file, encode it to the X-Face data, and show it. x-face-insert Read an XBM file, encode it to the X-Face data, and insert it to the current buffer as a message header. x-face-save Extract X-Face headers in the current buffer, encode them to XBM data, and save them in the local system. x-face-view Extract X-Face headers in the current buffer, encode them to XBM data, and show them using an external image viewer. x-face-ascii-view Extract X-Face headers in the current buffer, encode them to XBM data, and show them as ascii pictures in an Emacs frame." Please note, this module provides no image viewer in an Emacs frame for the historical reason. However, it is easy to display X-Face images inline; Gnus provides the X-Face viewer by itself, you can use x-face-mule.el for Mule 2 and Emacs, x-face-e21.el for Emacs 21, x-face-xmas.el for XEmacs, and so forth.
