NAME

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps − convert a TIFF image to +PostScript™

+ +

SYNOPSIS

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps [ options ] input.tif +...

+ +

DESCRIPTION

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps reads TIFF images and +writes PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) on the +standard output. By default, tiff2ps writes +Encapsulated PostScript for the first image in the specified +TIFF image file.

+ +

By default, tiff2ps will generate PostScript that +fills a printed area specified by the TIFF +tags in the input file. If the file does not contain +XResolution or YResolution tags, then the +printed area is set according to the image dimensions. The +−w and −h options (see below) can +be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches; +overriding any relevant TIFF tags.

+ +

The PostScript generated for RGB, palette, +and CMYK images uses the colorimage +operator. The PostScript generated for greyscale and bilevel +images uses the image operator. When the +colorimage operator is used, PostScript code to +emulate this operator on older PostScript printers is also +generated. Note that this emulation code can be very +slow.

+ +

Color images with associated alpha data are composited +over a white background.

+ +

+ + −1 +	+ + Generate PostScript Level 1 (the default). +	+
+ + −2 +	+ + Generate PostScript Level 2. +	+
+ + −3 +	+ + Generate PostScript Level 3. It basically allows one to +use the /flateDecode filter for ZIP compressed TIFF +images. +	+
+ + −a +	+ + Generate output for all IFDs (pages) in the input +file. +	+
+ + −b +	+ + Specify the bottom margin for the output (in inches). +This does not affect the height of the printed image. +	+
+ + −c +	+ + Center the image in the output. This option only shows +an effect if both the −w and the +−h option are given. +	+
+ + −d +	+ + Set the initial TIFF directory to the +specified directory number. (NB: Directories are numbered +starting at zero.) This option is useful for selecting +individual pages in a multi-page (e.g. facsimile) file. +	+
+ + −e +	+ + Force the generation of Encapsulated PostScript (implies +−z). +	+
+ + −h +	+ + Specify the vertical size of the printed area (in +inches). +	+
+ + −H +	+ + Specify the maximum height of image (in inches). Images +with larger sizes will be split in several pages. Option +−L may be used for specifying size of split +images overlapping. +	+
+ + −i +	+ + Enable/disable pixel interpolation. This option requires +a single numeric value: zero to disable pixel interpolation +and non-zero to enable. The default is enabled. +	+
+ + −L +	+ + Specify the size of overlapping for split images (in +inches). Used in conjunction with −H +option. +	+
+ + −l +	+ + Specify the left margin for the output (in inches). This +does not affect the width of the printed image. +	+
+ + −m +	+ + Where possible render using the imagemask +PostScript operator instead of the image operator. +When this option is specified tiff2ps will use +imagemask for rendering 1 bit deep images. If this +option is not specified or if the image depth is greater +than 1 then the image operator is used. +	+
+ + −o +	+ + Set the initial TIFF directory to the +IFD at the specified file offset. This option +is useful for selecting thumbnail images and the like which +are hidden using the SubIFD tag. +	+
+ + −p +	+ + Force the generation of (non-Encapsulated) +PostScript. +	+
+ + −r +	+ + Rotate image by 180 degrees. +	+
+ + −s +	+ + Generate output for a single IFD (page) in the input +file. +	+
+ + −w +	+ + Specify the horizontal size of the printed area (in +inches). +	+
+ + −x +	+ + Override resolution units specified in the TIFF as +centimeters. +	+
+ + −y +	+ + Override resolution units specified in the TIFF as +inches. +	+
+ + −z +	+ + When generating PostScript Level 2, data is scaled so +that it does not image into the deadzone on a page +(the outer margin that the printing device is unable to +mark). This option suppresses this behavior. When PostScript +Level 1 is generated, data is imaged to the entire printed +page and this option has no affect. +	+

+ +

EXAMPLES

+ + + + + +

The following generates PostScript Level 2 for all pages +of a facsimile:

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps −a2 fax.tif | lpr
+

+ + + + + + +

Note also that if you have version 2.6.1 or newer of +Ghostscript then you can efficiently preview facsimile +generated with the above command.

+ +

To generate Encapsulated PostScript for a the image at +directory 2 of an image use:

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps −d 1 foo.tif
+

+ + + + + + +

(Notice that directories are numbered starting at +zero.)

+ +

If you have a long image, it may be split in several +pages:

+ + + + + +

tiff2ps −h11 −w8.5 −H14 −L.5 foo.tif > foo.ps
+

+ + + + + + +

The page size is set to 8.5x11 by −w and +−h options. We will accept a small amount of +vertical compression, so −H set to 14. Any +pages between 11 and 14 inches will be fit onto one page. +Pages longer than 14 inches are cut off at 11 and continued +on the next page. The −L.5 option says to +repeat a half inch on the next page (to improve +readability).

+ +

BUGS

+ + + + + +

Because PostScript does not support the notion of a +colormap, 8-bit palette images produce 24-bit PostScript +images. This conversion results in output that is six times +bigger than the original image and which takes a long time +to send to a printer over a serial line. Matters are even +worse for 4-, 2-, and 1-bit palette images.

+ +

Does not handle tiled images when generating PostScript +Level I output.
