<h2>NAME</h2>

pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda

<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<b>pbmtomda</b>

[<b>-d</b>]
[<b>-i</b>]
[<b>--</b>]

[<i>pbmfile</i>]

<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.

<p><b>pbmtomda</b> reads a PBM image as input and
produces a MicroDesign 2 area file (.MDA) as output.

<p>If you do not specify <i>pbmfile</i>, <b>pbmtomda</b> uses Standard Input.

<h2 id="options">OPTIONS</h2>

<p>In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably <b>-quiet</b>, see <a href="index.html#commonoptions">
Common Options</a>), <b>pbmtomda</b> recognizes the following
command line options:

<dl compact>
<dt><b>-d</b>

<dd>
Halve the height of the output file, to compensate for the aspect 
ratio used in MicroDesign files.
<dt><b>-i</b>

<dd>
Invert the colors used.
<dt><b>--</b>

<dd>
End of options (use this if the filename starts with "-")
</dl>

<h2 id="limitations">LIMITATIONS</h2>

There's no way to produce files in MicroDesign 3 format. MD3 itself and 
<a href="mdatopbm.html">mdatopbm</a> can read files in either format.
