       ppmmake [-maxval=maxval] color width height

       All  options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  You may use two hyphens in‐
       stead of one to designate an option.  You may use either white space or an  equals  sign  be‐
       tween an option name and its value.



DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmmake produces a PPM image of the specified color, width, height, and maxval.

       Specify  the color (color) as described for the argument of the pnm_parsecolor() library rou‐
       tine .



EXAMPLES
           ppmmake red 50 50

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




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.

                   This option did not exist before June 2002.  Before, the maxval was
                   always 255.
