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 ), 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.
