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.
