NAME
     ppmmake - create a pixmap of a specified size and color

SYNOPSIS
     ppmmake color width height

DESCRIPTION
     Produces a portable pixmap of the  specified  color,  width,
     and height.

     The color can be specified in five ways:

     o    A name, assuming that a pointer to an  X11-style  color
          names file was compiled in.

     o    An X11-style hexadecimal specifier: rgb:r/g/b, where  r
          g and b are each 1- to 4-digit hexadecimal numbers.

     o    An X11-style decimal specifier: rgbi:r/g/b, where  r  g
          and b are floating point numbers between 0 and 1.

     o    For backwards compatibility, an  old-X11-style  hexade-
          cimal    number:    #rgb,   #rrggbb,   #rrrgggbbb,   or
          #rrrrggggbbbb.

     o    For  backwards  compatibility,  a  triplet  of  numbers
          separated  by commas: r,g,b, where r g and b are float-
          ing point numbers between 0 and  1.   (This  style  was
          added before MIT came up with the similar rgbi style.)
