SYNOPSIS

       ppmmake [-maxval=maxval] color width height

       All  options  can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  You may use two hyphens instead of one
       to designate an option.  You may use either white space or an equals sign between an option name and  its
       value.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmmake produces a PPM image of the specified color, width, height, and maxval.

       Specify the color (color) as described for the argument of the pnm_parsecolor() library routine .

EXAMPLES

           ppmmake red 50 50

           ppmmake rgb:ff/80/80 50 100 -maxval=5

OPTIONS

       In  addition  to  the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see  Common
       Options ), ppmmake recognizes the following command line option:

       -maxval=maxval
                   The maxval for the generated image.  Default is 255.

                   This option did not exist before June 2002.  Before, the maxval was
                   always 255.
