  26 .SH NAME
  27 sgi2tiff \- create a
  28 .SM TIFF
  29 file from an
  30 .SM SGI
  31 image file
  32 .SH SYNOPSIS
  33 .B sgi2tiff
  34 [
  35 .I options
  36 ]
  37 .I input.rgb
  38 .I output.tif
  39 .SH DESCRIPTION
  40 .I sgi2tiff
  41 converts a file in the
  42 .SM SGI
  43 image format to
  44 .SM TIFF.
  45 By default, the
  46 .SM TIFF
  47 image is created with data samples packed (\c
  48 .IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
  49 compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
  50 .IR Compression =5),
  51 and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
  52 These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
  53 with the options described below.
  54 .SH OPTIONS
  55 .TP
  56 .B \-c
  57 Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
  58 .B "\-c none"
  59 for no compression,
  60 .B "\-c packbits"
  61 for the PackBits compression algorithm),
  62 .B "\-c jpeg"
  63 for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
  64 .B "\-c zip
  65 for the Deflate compression algorithm,
  66 and
  67 .B "\-c lzw"
  68 for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
  69 .TP
  70 .B \-p
  71 Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing
  72 data samples in the output image:
  73 .B "\-p contig"
  74 for samples packed contiguously, and
  75 .B "\-p separate"
  76 for samples stored separately.
  77 By default samples are packed.
  78 .TP
  79 .B \-r
  80 Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
  81 by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
  82 is approximately 8 kilobytes.
  83 .SH BUGS
  84 Does not record colormap information.
