NAME

mdatopbm - convert a Microdesign .mda or .mdp file into a PBM image

SYNOPSIS

mdatopbm [-d] [-i] [--] [mdafile]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm.

mdatopbm reads a MicroDesign file as input and Produces a PBM image as output.

If you don't specify mdafile, mdatopbm takes its input from Standard Input.

OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options), mdatopbm recognizes the following command line options:

-d: Double 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 "-")

The program also accepts option -a for historical reasons, for the same meaning as the Netpbm common option -plain.
