NAME
pgmcrater - create cratered terrain by fractal forgery
SYNOPSIS
pgmcrater
[-number n]
[-height|-ysize s]
[-width|-xsize s]
[-gamma g]
[-randomseed=integer]
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 ei-
ther white space or equals signs between an option name and its value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pgmcrater is obsolete. All it does now is invoke pamcrater, pamshade-
drelief, and pamtopnm. You should use those programs in any new appli-
cation, or if you are modifying an old program or process that does not
have to work with a version of Netpbm before 10.68 (September 2014).
pgmcrater exists only for backward compatibility.
The combination of the three programs mentioned above performs the same
function as traditional pgmcrater.
pgmcrater's -number, -height, -width, and -randomseed options are equiv-
alent to the options of the same name on pamcrater.
pgmcrater's -gamma option is equivalent to the option of the same name
on pamshadedrelief.
pgmcrater's -ysize option is identical to -height; -xsize is identical
to -width.
Note: The former pgmcrater code was split into pamcrater and pamshade-
drelief. The reason for the split is that having separate programs is
more consistent with Netpbm's building block philosophy. It is possible
the separate components can be used in other applications.
