How to use the command ppmmake (with examples)
ppmmake is a command that allows us to create a PPM image of a specified color and dimensions.
Use case 1: Create a PPM image of the specified color and dimensions
Code:
ppmmake color width height > path/to/output_file.ppm
Motivation: Creating a PPM image with specific color and dimensions can be useful for various purposes, such as generating test images, creating placeholders, or creating simple graphical elements for a project.
Explanation:
color: Specifies the color of the image in the format “R G B”, where R, G, and B are the values for the red, green, and blue components respectively. Each component value can range from 0 to 255.width: Specifies the width of the image in pixels.height: Specifies the height of the image in pixels.path/to/output_file.ppm: Specifies the path and name of the output file where the PPM image will be saved.
Example output: Let’s create a blue PPM image with a width of 200 pixels and a height of 100 pixels. We’ll save it as “blue_image.ppm”.
ppmmake 0 0 255 200 100 > blue_image.ppm
This will create a blue image file named “blue_image.ppm” with dimensions 200x100 pixels.
Conclusion: The ppmmake command is a handy tool for creating PPM images with specific dimensions and colors. It can be used in various scenarios where custom image generation is needed.
