NAME
pgmcrater - create cratered terrain by fractal forgery
SYNOPSIS
pgmcrater
[-number n]
[-height|-ysize s]
[-width|-xsize s]
[-gamma g]
[-randomseed=integer]
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one to designate
an option. You may use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pgmcrater is obsolete. All it does now is invoke pamcrater, pamshadedrelief, and pamtopnm. You should use those
programs in any new application, or if you are modifying an old program or process that does not have to work with a
version of Netpbm before 10.68 (September 2014). pgmcrater exists only for backward compatibility.
The combination of the three programs mentioned above performs the same function as traditional pgmcrater.
pgmcrater's -number, -height, -width, and -randomseed options are equivalent to the options of the same name on pam‐
crater.
pgmcrater's -gamma option is equivalent to the option of the same name on pamshadedrelief.
pgmcrater's -ysize option is identical to -height; -xsize is identical to -width.
Note: The former pgmcrater code was split into pamcrater and pamshadedrelief. The reason for the split is that hav‐
ing separate programs is more consistent with Netpbm's building block philosophy. It is possible the separate compo‐
nents can be used in other applications.
