ppmmake(1)             UNIX System V(24 September 1991)              ppmmake(1)


NAME
      ppmmake - create a pixmap of a specified size and color

SYNOPSIS
      ppmmake color width height

DESCRIPTION
      Produces a portable pixmap of the specified color, width, and height.

      The color can be specified in five ways:

      o     A name, assuming that a pointer to an X11-style color names file
            was compiled in.

      o     An X11-style hexadecimal specifier: rgb:r/g/b, where r g and b are
            each 1- to 4-digit hexadecimal numbers.

      o     An X11-style decimal specifier: rgbi:r/g/b, where r g and b are
            floating point numbers between 0 and 1.

      o     For backwards compatibility, an old-X11-style hexadecimal number:
            #rgb, #rrggbb, #rrrgggbbb, or #rrrrggggbbbb.

      o     For backwards compatibility, a triplet of numbers separated by
            commas: r,g,b, where r g and b are floating point numbers between 0
            and 1.  (This style was added before MIT came up with the similar
            rgbi style.)
