You +may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may +use either white space or an equals sign between an option name and its +value. + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpamseq\fP generates a PAM image of a specified depth and specified +maxval that consists of a single row. The row consists of one tuple of +every possible value, in order. +.PP +For a depth of one, the order is simple: From 0 to maxval, going from +left to right. For higher depths, the highest numbered plane goes from +0 to maxval (going left to right) while all the other planes have value 0. +Then the sequence repeats except with the next highest plane set to a value +of 1, then 2, etc. + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS + + +.TP +\fB-tupletype\fP +This is the value of the "tuple_type" attribute of the created PAM image. +It can be any string up to 255 characters. + + + +.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. Most web +browsers guarantee that they can produce at least these 216 colors +(215 plus black). + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pnmremap" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamtopnm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pam" (5)\c +\& + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +\fBpamseq\fP was added to Netpbm in June 2002. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
