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 (
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.
