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
       -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(5)
