DESCRIPTION
Tiffsv
saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the
Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
By default, the image is saved 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 be overriden, or explicitly specified
with the following options:
-none
(use no compression),
-packbits
(use the PackBits compression algorithm),
-lzw
(use Lempel-Ziv & Welch - default),
-contig
(pack samples - default),
-separate
(store samples in separate planes),
-rowsperstrip
n
(pack
n
rows in each strip).
The
-b
option is included for compatibility with the standard
scrsave
program- it causes the image to be saved as a greyscale image,
as if it were processed by
tiff2bw(1).
NOTE
Except for the use of
TIFF,
this program is equivalent to the standard
scrsave
program.
This means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with
the standard
icut
program simply by creating a link called
scrsave,
or by creating a shell script called
scrsave
that invokes
tiffgt
with the appropriate options.
BUGS
If data are saved compressed and in separate planes, then the
rows in each strip is silently set to one to avoid limitations
in the
libtiff(3)
library.
