pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda

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.

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.

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:

Halve the height of the output file, to compensate for the aspect ratio used in MicroDesign files.
Invert the colors used.
--
End of options (use this if the filename starts with "-")

There's no way to produce files in MicroDesign 3 format. MD3 itself and mdatopbm(1) can read files in either format.
