Pnm2ppa calibration tool

Usage

calibrate_ppa [options]

Overview

Produces various PixMap (PPM) files used for calibrating pnm2ppa.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

Note

The size of a full-page PixMap is 100MB!!. These PixMaps should be piped directly to pnm2ppa, except in the case of the -g option, where the PixMap should be viewed or printed by other means.

Options

-g, --gamma

produce gamma.ppm (10MB, used in color calibration).
