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 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 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.
