+Tools Overview</font></h1>
+<p>This software distribution comes with a small collection of
+programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for
+manipulating and interrogating the contents of TIFF images. Several
+of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however
+are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the
+TIFF library.</p>
+<h3>Device-dependent Programs</h3>
+There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple
+examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
+<table border cellpadding="3">
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%">
+<tt><a href="man/tiffgt.1.html">tiffgt</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td>
+<td>Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL.
+The software makes extensive use of the <tt>TIFFRGBAImage</tt>
+facilities described elsewhere.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top" width="10%"><tt><a href="man/tiffsv.1.html">tiffsv</a></tt></td>
+<td>A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon
+Graphics system. As for <tt>tiffgt</tt> this code, while written to
+use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+<h3>Device-independent Programs</h3>
+The remaining programs should be device-independent:
+<table border cellpadding="3">

+TIFF files, with orthogonal rotation, mirroring, cropping, and
+extraction of multiple sections and exporting to one or more files.
+It extends the functionality of tiffcp to support additional bit
+depths in strips and tiles and enhances the selection capabilities of
+tiffsplit. Bilevel images can be inverted and images may be split into
+segments to fit on multiple /pages/ (standard paper sizes), plus other
