NAME

       calibrate_ppa - pnm2ppa calibration tool

SYNOPSIS

       calibrate_ppa [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Produces various PixMap (PPM) files used for calibrating pnm2ppa.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

NOTE

       The size of a  full-page PixMap is 100MB!!.  These PixMaps should  be  piped  directly  to
       pnm2ppa,  except  in  the  case  of  the   -g option, where the PixMap should be viewed or
       printed by other means.
