NAME

       pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtomda

       [-dscale] [-invert] [--]

       [pbmfile]

       Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen
       to  denote  options.  You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from
       its value.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtomda reads a PBM image as input and produces a MicroDesign 2 area file (.MDA) as output.

       If you do not specify pbmfile, pbmtomda uses Standard Input.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see   Common
       Options ), pbmtomda recognizes the following command line options:

       -d     Halve the height of the output file, to compensate for the aspect ratio used in MicroDesign files.

       -i     Invert the colors used.

       --     End of options (use this if the filename starts with "-")

LIMITATIONS

       There's  no  way  to  produce files in MicroDesign 3 format. MD3 itself and mdatopbm(1) can read files in
       either format.
