NAME
        ppmpat - make a pretty pixmap
 
SYNOPSIS
        ppmpat    -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.
 
        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 rou­
        tines.  Still, some of the patterns can be rather  pretty.
        If  you  have  a  color workstation, something like ppmpat
        -squig 300 300 | ppmquant 128 should generate a nice back­
        ground.
 
OPTIONS
        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.
 
        All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre­
        fix.
