NAME

       pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtomda

       [-d] [-i] [--]

       [pbmfile]

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  ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩  ), 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.
