pbmmake - Man Page

pbmmake [-white|-black|-gray] width height

You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pbmmake produces a PBM image of the specified width and height, either all black, all white, or a dithered gray.  The default is white.

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

-white

-black

-gray

In addition to the usual -white and -black, this program implements -gray.  This gives a simple 50% gray pattern with 1's and 0's alternating.

With none of the above specified, the output image will be entirely white.
