26 .SH NAME

28 .SM TIFF
29 file from a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file
30 .SH SYNOPSIS
31 .B bmp2tiff
32 [
33 .I options
34 ]
35 .I input.bmp
36 [
37 .I input2.bmp ...\&

39 .I output.tiff
40 .SH DESCRIPTION
41 .I bmp2tiff
42 converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file to
43 .SM TIFF.
44 If several input BMP files are being specified the multipage
45 .SM TIFF
46 output file will be created. By default, the
47 .SM TIFF
48 image is created with data samples packed (\c
49 .IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
50 compressed with the PackBits algorithm (\c
51 .IR Compression =32773),
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 (the default),
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.
70 .TP
71 .BI \-r " number"
72 Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
73 by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
74 is approximately 8 kilobytes.
