NAME
pbmtomda - convert a PBM image to a Microdesign .mda
SYNOPSIS
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.
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
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pbmtomda recognizes the
following command line 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.
