SGI2TIFF(1)                                                        SGI2TIFF(1)



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 Lempel-Ziv & Welch
       algorithm (Compression=5), and with each strip no more than 8
       kilobytes.  These characteristics can overridden, 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 separate 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.
