NAME

pbmpat - make a pretty pixmap

SYNOPSIS

pbmpat -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. 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.

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.

All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

Some of the patterns are from "Designer's Guide to Color 3" by Jeanne Allen.
