PPM2TIFF (1)

create a

file from a image file

SYNOPSIS

    ppm2tiff [ options ] [ input.ppm ] output.tif

DESCRIPTION

    ppm2tiff converts a file in the image format to By default, the image is created with data samples packed (\c PlanarConfiguration =1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c Compression =5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can be overriden, or explicitly specified with the options described below

    If the file contains greyscale data, then the PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 1 (min-is-black), otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB).

    If no file is specified on the command line, ppm2tiff will read from the standard input.

OPTIONS

    -c

      Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c none for no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compression algorithm, -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (the default).

    -r

      Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.

    -R

      Mark the resultant image to have the specified X and Y resolution (in dots/inch).
