Converting from and to xpm corrupts the image

Converting from and to xpm corrupts the image, that is it alters the colors introducing "noise", e.g. using convert from and to xpm which should be a no-op results in this:

Code: Select all

$ cat decoration-template.xpm
/* XPM */
static char * decoration_template_xpm[] = {

I'm using ImageMagick 6.7.8-8 2013-03-18 Q16, I'm fairly sure this didn't happen with older versions of IM, I still have XPM images from about three years ago which were converted with IM without this "noise" being added.

Add '-dither none' to your command line.

Thanks, that fixed the conversion. Now I'm facing a different kind of "corruption", when cutting out part of the posted image via -crop, some of the transparent pixels (ie. color "None") are turned into black:

Code: Select all

$ convert  -dither none -crop 6x25+0+0 decoration-template.xpm xpm:-

Why is this and how can I avoid it?
It looks also weird that colors are all duplicated.
