# gencolor

output a pattern of byte values

      gencolor
        -r#
        val1valN

## DESCRIPTION

Gencolor repeats a pattern of up to 8192 8-bit values on its standard output. The values, which range from 0 to 255, are taken either from the command line, or in binary from its standard input. The `-r` flag can be used to specify the number of times to repeat the given pattern, the default being infinity. This program is useful for producing a given grey value or color. Note that `gencolor` will refuse to write its output to a window, you must redirect the output to a file.

## EXAMPLE

`gencolor -r512 0 255 0 > foo.pix` Will output 512 "green" pixels
