NAME
       ppmpat - make a pretty pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       ppmpat	 -gingham2|-g2|-gingham3|    -g3|-madras|-tartan|
       -poles|-squig|-camo| -anticamo width height

DESCRIPTION
       Produces a portable pixmap  of  the  specified  width  and
       height, with a pattern in it.

       This  program  is mainly to demonstrate use of the ppmdraw
       routines, a simple but powerful drawing library.	 See  the
       ppmdraw.h  include  file for more info on using these rou
       tines.  Still, some of the patterns can be rather  pretty.
       If  you	have  a	 color workstation, something like ppmpat
       -squig 300 300 | ppmquant 128 should generate a nice back
       ground.

OPTIONS
       The  different  flags  specify  various	different pattern
       types:

       -gingham2
	      A gingham check pattern.	Can be tiled.

       -gingham3
	      A slightly more complicated gingham.  Can be tiled.

       -madras
	      A madras plaid.  Can be tiled.

       -tartan
	      A tartan plaid.  Can be tiled.

       -poles Color  gradients centered on randomly-placed poles.
	      May need to be run through ppmquant.

       -squig Squiggley tubular pattern.  Can be tiled.	 May need
	      to be run through ppmquant.

       -camo  Camouflage  pattern.   May  need	to be run through
	      ppmquant.

       -anticamo
	      Anti-camouflage pattern - like  -camo,  but  ultra-
	      bright   colors.	  May  need  to	 be  run  through
	      ppmquant.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre
       fix.

REFERENCES
       Some  of	 the patterns are from "Designer's Guide to Color
       3" by Jeanne Allen.
