DESCRIPTION

17       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
18
19       ppmpat produces a PPM of the specified width and height, with a pattern
20       in it.
21
22       This  program  is  mainly to demonstrate use of the ppmdraw routines, a
23       simple but powerful drawing library.  See the  ppmdraw.h  include  file
24       for more info on using these routines.  Still, some of the patterns can
25       be rather pretty.  If you have a color workstation, something like ppm‐
26       pat -squig 300 300 | pnmquant 128 should generate a nice background.
27
28       Some  of  these patterns have large numbers of colors, so if you want a
29       simpler pattern, use pnmquant on the output.
