NAME

tiffdither - convert a grayscale image to bilevel using dithering  

SYNOPSIS

tiffdither [ -f ] [ -4 ] [ -2 ] [ -o ] [ -p ] [ -t threshold ] file1 file2  

DESCRIPTION

Tiffdither converts a single channel 8-bit grayscale image to a bilevel image using Floyd-Steinberg error propagation with threholding. By default the threshold value is 128; this can be changed with the -t option.

By default, the data in the resultant image are encoded with LZWcompression. If the -f option is specified, the data are encoded with CCITT Group 3 facsimile encoding. If the -4 option is specified, the data are encoded with CCITT Group 4 facsimile encoding. The -o, -2, and -p options are useful only when the -f option is used; they reverse the default LSB to MSB bit ordering in the output file, force 2D encoding, and force zero-padding before EOL codes, respectively.  

NOTES

The dither algorithm is taken from the tiffmedian(1) program (written by Paul Heckbert).
