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.

SEE ALSO
       mdatopbm(1), pbm(1)
