NAME

calibrate_ppa - pnm2ppa calibration tool

SYNOPSIS

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.

-h, --help: displays this help text.
-o <outfile>: output to file <outfile>, "-o -" means stdout (default)
