GIF2TIFF 1 "November 2, 2005" "libtiff"
NAME
gif2tiff - create a
TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file
SYNOPSIS
gif2tiff [
options ]
input.gif output.tif DESCRIPTION
Gif2tiff converts a file in the GIF87 format to
TIFF. The
TIFF image is created as a palette image, with samples
compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
Compression =5). These characteristics can overridden, 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 zip" for the Deflate compression algorithm, and "-c lzw" for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (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.
NOTES
The program is based on Paul Haeberli's
fromgif program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.
BUGS
Should have more options to control output format.
