SGI2TIFF (1)

create a

file from an image file

SYNOPSIS

    sgi2tiff [ options ] input.rgb output.tif

DESCRIPTION

    sgi2tiff 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 overriden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

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 (the default).

    -p

      Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing data samples in the output image: -p contig for samples packed contiguously, and -p separate for samples stored separately. By default samples are packed.

    -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.

BUGS

    Does not record colormap information.
