DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pbmmake produces a PBM image of the specified width and height, either
all black, all white, or a dithered gray. The default is white.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pbmmake recognizes the fol-
lowing command line options:
-white
-black
-gray
These options specify the color of the output. -white means all
pixels are white. -black means all pixels are black. -gray
means black and white pixels alternate.
You may specify only one of these. The default is all white.
