26.TH GIF2TIFF 1 "November 2, 2005" "libtiff"
27.SH NAME
28gif2tiff \- create a
29.SM TIFF
30file from a GIF87 format image file
31.SH SYNOPSIS
32.B gif2tiff
33[
34.I options
35]
36.I input.gif
37.I output.tif
38.SH DESCRIPTION
39.I Gif2tiff
40converts a file in the GIF87 format to
41.SM TIFF.
42The
43.SM TIFF
44image is created as a palette image, with samples
45compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
46.IR Compression =5).
47These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
48with the options described below.
49.SH OPTIONS
50.TP
51.B \-c
52Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
53.B "\-c none"
54for no compression,
55.B "-c packbits"
56for the PackBits compression algorithm,
57.B "-c zip"
58for the Deflate compression algorithm,
59and
60.B "\-c lzw"
61for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
62.TP
63.B \-r
64Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
65by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
66is approximately 8 kilobytes.
67.SH NOTES
68The program is based on Paul Haeberli's
69.I fromgif
70program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF reader.
71.SH BUGS
72Should have more options to control output format.
