Bitmaps and Pixmaps

    Many of Tk's widgets can display pictures, e.g. buttons, canvases, text or menus. Bitmaps   are black and white pictures and they are accepted only in the X11 format. Pixmaps   are colour pictures and currently the accepted formats are gif and ppm (other formats are available as extensions).
