       calibrate_ppa [options]

DESCRIPTION
       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.
