TIFF +Tools Overview

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.

Device-dependent Programs

+There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple +examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images. + + + + + + + + + +

+`tiffgt`	Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL. +The software makes extensive use of the `TIFFRGBAImage` +facilities described elsewhere.
`tiffsv`	A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon +Graphics system. As for `tiffgt` this code, while written to +use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices.

Device-independent Programs

+The remaining programs should be device-independent: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

`bmp2tiff`	Convert BMP images to TIFF
`fax2ps`	Convert a Group 3- or Group 4- compressed TIFF to PostScript +that is significantly more compressed than is generated by +`tiff2ps` (unless `tiff2ps` writes PS Level II)
`fax2tiff`	Convert raw Group 3 or Group 4 facsimile data to TIFF
`gif2tiff`	A quick hack that converts GIF 87a (old) format images to TIFF
`pal2rgb`	Convert a Palette-style image to a full color RGB image by +applying the colormap
`ppm2tiff`	A quick hack that converts 8-bit PPM format images to TIFF
`ras2tiff`	A quick hack that converts Sun rasterfile format images to TIFF +-- it's less than complete
`raw2tiff`	Create a TIFF file from raw data
`rgb2ycbcr`	Convert an RGB, grayscale, or bilevel TIFF image to a YCbCr +TIFF image; it's mainly provided for testing
`sgi2tiff`	A program to convert SGI image files to TIFF. This program is +only useful on SGI machines as it uses `-limage`.
`thumbnail`	Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale +"thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of +how one might use the `SubIFD` tag (and the library support +for it)
`tiff2bw`	A simple program to convert a color image to grayscale
`tiff2pdf`	Convert TIFF images to PDF
`tiff2ps`	Convert TIFF images to PostScript
`tiff2rgba`	Convert a TIFF image to RGBA color space
`tiffcmp`	Compare the contents of two TIFF files (it does not check all +the directory information, but does check all the data)
`tiffcp`	Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from +Compression=5 to Compression=1)
`tiffcrop`	Provides selection of images from within one or more multi-image +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 +functions described in the tiffcrop man page
`tiffdither`	Dither a b&w image into a bilevel image (suitable for use +in creating fax files)
`tiffdump`	Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file +(it's very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from +someone that claims they support TIFF)
`tiffinfo`	Display information about one or more TIFF files.
`tiffmedian`	A version of Paul Heckbert's median cut program that reads an +RGB TIFF image, and creates a TIFF palette file as a result
`tiffset`	Set a field in a TIFF header
`tiffsplit`	Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) +multi-image file

Check out the manual pages for details about the above +programs.
