NAME

       mdatopbm - convert a Microdesign .mda or .mdp file into a PBM image

SYNOPSIS

       mdatopbm [-d] [-i] [--] [mdafile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       mdatopbm reads a MicroDesign file as input and Produces a PBM image as output.

       If you don't specify mdafile, mdatopbm takes its input from Standard Input.

OPTIONS

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

       -d     Double 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 "-")

       The program also accepts option -a for historical reasons, for
         the same meaning as the Netpbm common option -plain.
