27 tiffsv \- save an image from the framebuffer in a
29 file (Silicon Graphics version)
41 saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the
42 Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
43 By default, the image is saved with data samples packed (\c
44 .IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
45 compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (\c
47 and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
48 These characteristics can be overridden, or explicitly specified
49 with the options described below.
53 Save the image as a greyscale image
54 as if it were processed by
56 This option is included for compatibility with the standard
61 Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file:
65 for PackBits compression,
67 for baseline JPEG compression,
69 for Deflate compression,
72 for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (default).
75 compression can be specified together with a
78 A predictor value of 2 causes
79 each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
80 differencing before it is encoded; a value
81 of 1 forces each scanline to be encoded without differencing.
82 LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated
83 list to the ``lzw'' option; e.g.
87 compression with horizontal differencing.
90 Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data.
93 will create a new file with the data samples packed contiguously.
96 will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed
99 will force samples to be written in separate planes.
102 Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data
103 written to the output file.
106 attempts to set the rows/strip
107 that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip.
109 Except for the use of
111 this program is equivalent to the standard
114 This means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with
117 program simply by creating a link called
119 or by creating a shell script called
123 with the appropriate options.
125 If data are saved compressed and in separate planes, then the
126 rows in each strip is silently set to one to avoid limitations
