NAME

6       makepattern - make GMT color pattern from b/w pattern or icon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       makepattern 1bit.ras | iconfile -Cfr/g/b -Cbr/g/b
10

DESCRIPTION

12       makepattern reads either a Sun 1-bit rasterfile OR a Sun icon file.  It
13       then accepts color choices for the foreground and background pixels and
14       colorizes  the pattern, writing it as a 8-bit Sun rasterfile on stdout.
15       These patterns may then be used in GMT (3.1 or later) -Gp  settings  or
16       by psimage.
17
18       1bit.ras | iconfile
19              Either a 1-bit Sun rasterfile (standard format, no RLE) or a Sun
20              icon file (as used in GMT 3.0).
21
22       -Cf    Sets the color for the foreground pixels (the ones) [black].
23
24       -Cb    Sets the color for the background pixels (the zeros) [white].
25

WIN32 fix

27       Since binary redirection under WIN32 does not work,  you  must  specify
28       the  output  file  with  -Gnewfile.ras.   This option is only available
29       under WIN32.

EXAMPLES

32       To create a colorized red/blue 8-bit Sun rasterfile  pattern  from  the
33       old 3.0-style iconpattern stored in file custom.icon, run
34
35       makepattern custom.icon -Cfred -Cbblue > custom.ras
36
37       To  create  a  green/blue 8-bit Sun rasterfile pattern from a 1-bit Sun
38       raster called bits.ras, run
39
40       makepattern bits.ras -Cfgreen -Cbblue > colorbits.ras
