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.
