NAME
sgi2tiff - create a TIFF file from an SGI image file
SYNOPSIS
sgi2tiff [ options ] input.rgb output.tif
DESCRIPTION
sgi2tiff converts a file in the SGI image format to TIFF.
By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples
packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed with the Lem-
pel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with each
strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can
overriden, or explicitly specified with the options
described below.
OPTIONS
-c Specify a compression scheme to use when writing
image data: -c none for no compression, -c packbits
for the PackBits compression algorithm), -c jpeg
for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip
for the Deflate compression algorithm, and -c lzw
for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
-p Explicitly select the planar configuration used in
organizing data samples in the output image: -p
contig for samples packed contiguously, and -p sep-
arate for samples stored separately. By default
samples are packed.
-r Write data with a specified number of rows per
strip; by default the number of rows/strip is
selected so that each strip is approximately 8
kilobytes.
BUGS
Does not record colormap information.
