34]
35.I input.bmp [input2.bmp ...]
36.I output.tiff
37.SH DESCRIPTION
38.I bmp2tiff
39converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file to
40.SM TIFF.
41If several input BMP files are being specified the multipage
42.SM TIFF
43output file will be created. By default, the
44.SM TIFF
45image is created with data samples packed (\c
46.IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
47compressed with the PackBits algorithm (\c
48.IR Compression = 32773),
49and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
50These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
51with the options described below.
52.SH OPTIONS
53.TP
54.B \-c
55Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
56.B "\-c none"
57for no compression,
58.B "-c packbits"
59for the PackBits compression algorithm (the default),
60.B "-c jpeg"
61for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
62.B "-c zip
63for the Deflate compression algorithm,
64and
65.B "\-c lzw"
66for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.
67.TP
68.B \-r <number>
69Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
70by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
71is approximately 8 kilobytes.
