PPMMAKE(1)

💖 PPMMAKE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the Ppmmake User Manual, living in the General Commands Manual section, and I am literally so excited to tell you about it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ppmmake — create a PPM image of a specified color and dimensions 🌈

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ppmmake [-maxval=maxval] color width height

okay so before you go anywhere, some quality-of-life tea ☕ — all options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. you may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. and you may use either white space or an equals sign between an option name and its value. iconic, flexible, we love her 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this program is part of Netpbm(1). ppmmake produces a PPM image of the specified color, width, height, and maxval. bestie you literally just say the words and a whole image appears, main character energy fr fr 👑

specify the color (color) as described for the argument of the pnm_parsecolor() library routine — that's the one that knows all the color syntaxes, so go read up on it, iykyk 😌

---

💫 EXAMPLES 💫

ppmmake red 50 50

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

look at her go 🔥 that second one? rgb:ff/80/80 with a -maxval=5? ate and left no crumbs 🍓

---

✨ 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 💜

ok so tiny history moment 🕰️ — this option did not exist before June 2002. before that, the maxval was always 255. so if you're time traveling, adjust accordingly bestie 🧚
