And experimenting I did! Thanks for the GRAY tip. This is how I got it perfected. Trial & error ftw... Reference bmp (converted from pbm) : out1.bmp BMP 1920x1080 1920x1080+0+0 1-bit PseudoClass 2c 259KB 0.000u 0:00.009 Attempt 1: $ convert -size 1920x1080 -depth 1 GRAY:random.dat out2.bmp ...

Thanks, but how do I do this without having to go via the pbm format?
I would like to do: convert [arguments] random.dat output.bmp

I want to be able to visualize the bit distribution in a file containing random bytes, like this http://www.random.org/bitmaps/?format=png&width=64&height=64&zoom=1 . At the moment, I do it by converting the data file to ascii, and then to PBM (P1), and then convert it to a bitmap using ppmtobmp ...
