ppmcolors(1)                         General Commands Manual                         ppmcolors(1)

NAME
       ppmcolors - generate a color map of all colors of a certain maxval

SYNOPSIS
       ppmcolors [-maxval=maxval]

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

DESCRIPTION
       ppmcolors generates a PPM color map containing all the colors representable with a certain
       maxval.

       A PPM color map is a regular PPM image that is used by some programs to define  a  set  of
       colors.

       ppmcolors  generates  a  one  row  PPM  image that contains one pixel of each color repre-
       sentable by the maxval you choose.  The maxval of the PPM image is that maxval.  Note that
       you  can change the maxval of the color map by running the output of ppmcolors through pn-
       mdepth.  As long as the new maxval is a multiple of the original,  the  resulting  set  of
       colors  will be identical.  If the new maxval is not a multiple, the resulting set of col-
       ors will be slightly different.

       When you select a maxval of 5 (which is the default), you get a color map of  the  set  of
       "web  safe" colors as defined by Netscape.  Most web browsers guarantee that they can pro-
       duce at least these 216 colors (215 plus black).

       pnmcolormap is another program to generate a color map.  It chooses a set  of  colors  de-
       signed  to  represent the colors in a specified image (or simply the set of all the colors
       in that image, if you choose).

       pgmramp performs a similar function for PGM images.

OPTIONS
       -maxval=maxval
              This is the maxval of the generated color map.  Default is 5.
