NAME
ppmpat - make a pretty pixmap
SYNOPSIS
ppmpat -gingham2|-g2|-gingham3| -g3|-madras|-tartan| -
poles|-squig|-camo| -anticamo width height
DESCRIPTION
Produces a portable pixmap of the specified width and
height, with a pattern in it.
This program is mainly to demonstrate use of the ppmdraw
routines, a simple but powerful drawing library. See the
ppmdraw.h include file for more info on using these
routines. Still, some of the patterns can be rather pretty.
If you have a color workstation, something like ppmpat
-squig 300 300 | ppmquant 128 should generate a nice
background.
OPTIONS
The different flags specify various different pattern types:
-gingham2
A gingham check pattern. Can be tiled.
-gingham3
A slightly more complicated gingham. Can be tiled.
-madras
A madras plaid. Can be tiled.
-tartan
A tartan plaid. Can be tiled.
-poles
Color gradients centered on randomly-placed poles. May
need to be run through ppmquant.
-squig
Squiggley tubular pattern. Can be tiled. May need to
be run through ppmquant.
-camo
Camouflage pattern. May need to be run through
ppmquant.
-anticamo
Anti-camouflage pattern - like -camo, but ultra-bright
colors. May need to be run through ppmquant.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
prefix.
