The number + of comma-separated numbers must be equal to the number of planes in the + image (its depth). Each number must be a whole number no greater than + the maxval of the image. The first number is for Plane 0, the second for + Plane 1, etc. +.sp +The default is 0 in every plane. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.99 (June 2022). + +.TP +\fB-max=\fP\fIn\fP\fB,\fP\fIn\fP\fB,\fP... +.sp +This is analogous to \fB-min\fP, giving the ending value for the + sequence. +.sp +Each value must be at least as great as the corresponding \fB-min\fP + value. +.sp +The default is the maxval in every plane. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.99 (June 2022). + +.TP +\fB-step=\fP\fIn\fP\fB,\fP\fIn\fP\fB,\fP... +.sp +This is analogous to \fB-min\fP, giving the step value for the + sequence (difference between two consecutive numbers). +.sp +Each value must be positive and no greater than the maxval. +.sp +The default is 1. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.99 (June 2022). + + + +.UN usage +.SH USAGE +.PP +To create a simple ramp of the values 0..255, for input to various matrix +calculations, try +.nf +\f(CW + pamseq 1 255 +\fP + +.fi +(Before \fBpamseq\fP existed, \fBpgmramp\fP was often pressed into service +for this). +.PP +To create a PPM color map of all the possible colors representable with a +maxval of 5, do +.nf +\f(CW + pamseq 3 5 -tupletype=RGB | pamtopnm +\fP + +.fi + +Again, with a modern program based on the Netpbm library, you don't need +the \fBpamtopnm\fP because a PAM RGB image is equivalent to a PPM image. +.PP +You can use such a color map with +.BR "pnmremap" (1)\c +\& to quantize the colors in an +image. With the maxval of 5 given in the example, you get a color map +of the set of "web safe" colors as defined by Netscape.
