SGI2TIFF(1)
NAME
sgi2tiff - create a TIFF file from an SGI image file
SYNOPSIS
sgi2tiff [ options ] input.rgb output.tif
DESCRIPTION
sgi2tiff converts a file in the SGI image format to TIFF. By default,
the TIFF image is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. 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 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.
