### 16.2.2.6 Image Types

The `Tix` module adds:

- pixmap capabilities to all `Tix` and `Tkinter` widgets to create color images from XPM files.

- Compound image types can be used to create images that consists of multiple horizontal lines; each line is composed of a series of items (texts, bitmaps, images or spaces) arranged from left to right. For example, a compound image can be used to display a bitmap and a text string simultaneously in a Tk `Button` widget.
