NAME

   pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda

SYNOPSIS

   pbmtomda [-d] [-i] [--] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

   This program is part of Netpbm.

   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 can read files in either format.
