description
ppmrainbow
generates a PPM image that fades from one color to another
to another from left to right, like a rainbow. The colors
are those you specify on the command line, in that order.
The first color is added again on the right end of the
image.
If you want a
vertical or other non-horizontal rainbow, run the output
through pnmrotate.
One use for
such a rainbow is to compose it with another image under an
alpha mask in order to add a rainbow area to another image.
In fact, you can make rainbow-colored text by using
pbmtext, pnmcomp, and ppmrainbow.
options
-width
number
The width in pixels of the
output image.
Default is
600.
-height
number
The height in pixels of the
output image.
Default is
8.
-tmpdir
The directory specification of
the directory ppmrainbow is to use for temporary
files.
Default is the
value of the TMPDIR environment variable, or
/tmp if TMPDIR is not set.
-verbose
Print the "commands"
(invocations of other Netpbm programs) that
ppmrainbow uses to create the image.
