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