load-lisp-pixmap

Arguments: filename

Loads a file that was earlier created with save-lisp-pixmap to recreate the pixmap that was saved therein, and returns the pixmap. Optionally, the source code file that was created by save-lisp-pixmap may be compiled, and then the resulting .fasl file passed to load-lisp-pixmap. load-lisp-pixmap just calls load to load the file. The only visible difference between this function and load is that this function returns the loaded pixmap. (load always returns t or nil.)

There may be no good reason to load a pixmap this way, since loading the pixmap from the original .bmp bitmap file (using load-pixmap) is probably at least as fast.

filename is a pathname or path namestring naming the file to be loaded.
