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 <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.
