25.TH RAS2TIFF 1 "November 2, 2005" "libtiff"
26.SH NAME
27ras2tiff \- create a
28.SM TIFF
29file from a Sun rasterfile
30.SH SYNOPSIS
31.B ras2tiff
32[
33.I options
34]
35.I input.ras
36.I output.tif
37.SH DESCRIPTION
38.I ras2tiff
39converts a file in the Sun rasterfile format to
40.SM TIFF.
41By default, the
42.SM TIFF
43image is created with data samples packed (\c
44.IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
45compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
46.IR Compression =5),
47and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
48These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
49with the options described below.
50.PP
51Any colormap information in the rasterfile is carried over to the
52.SM TIFF
53file by including a
54.I Colormap
55tag in the output file.
56If the rasterfile has a colormap, the
57.I PhotometricInterpretation
58tag is set to 3 (palette);
59otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB) if the depth
60is 24 or 1 (min-is-black) if the depth is not 24.
61.SH OPTIONS
62.TP
63.B \-c
64Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
65.B "\-c none"
66for no compression,
67.B "\-c packbits"
68for the PackBits compression algorithm,
69.B "\-c jpeg"
70for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
71.B "\-c zip
72for the Deflate compression algorithm,
73and
74.B "\-c lzw"
75for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
76.TP
77.B \-r
78Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
79by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
80is approximately 8 kilobytes.
81.SH BUGS
82Does not handle all possible rasterfiles.
83In particular,
84.I ras2tiff
85does not handle run-length encoded images.
