SYNOPSIS
pgmmake [-maxval=maxval] graylevel width height

DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pgmmake produces a PGM image of the specified gray level, width, height,

Specify the gray level (graylevel) as a decimal floating point number in
the range [0, 1]. E.g. 1 is white, 0 is black, and 0.5 is half luminos-
ity gray.
EXAMPLES
pgmmake 1 50 50
pgmmake .2 50 100 -maxval=5

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pgmmake recognizes the fol-
lowing command line option:
-maxval=maxval
The maxval for the generated image. Default is 255.
