pnmtotiff(1) Unix Programmer's Manual pnmtotiff(1)
NAME
pnmtotiff - convert a a portable anymap into a TIFF file
SYNOPSIS
pnmtotiff [-none|-packbits| -lzw|-g3|-g4] [-2d] [-fill] [-predictor n] [-
-
msb2lsb|-lsb2msb] [-rowsperstrip n] [pnmfile]
- -------
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable anymap as input. Produces a TIFF file as output.
OPTIONS
By default, pnmtotiff creates a TIFF file with LZW compression. This is
---------
your best bet most of the time. However, some TIFF readers can't deal
with it. If you want to try another compression scheme or tweak some of
the other even more obscure output options, there are a number of flags
to play with.
The -none, -packbits, -lzw, -g3, and -g4 options are used to override the
default and set the compression scheme used in creating the output file.
The CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 compression algorithms can only be used
with bilevel data. The -2d and -fill options are meaningful only with
Group 3 compression: -2d requests 2-dimensional encoding, while -fill
requests that each encoded scanline be zero-filled to a byte boundry.
The -predictor option is only meaningful with LZW compression: a
predictor value of 2 causes each scanline of the output image to undergo
horizontal differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
scanline to be encoded without differencing.
By default, pnmtotiff creates a TIFF file with msb-to-lsb fill order.
---------
The -msb2lsb and -lsb2msb options are used to override the default and
set the fill order used in creating the file.
The -rowsperstrip option can be used to set the number of rows
(scanlines) in each strip of data in the output file. By default, the
output file has the number of rows per strip set to a value that will
ensure each strip is no more than 8 kilobytes long.
BUGS
This program is not self-contained. To use it you must fetch the TIFF
Software package listed in the OTHER.SYSTEMS file and configure PBMPLUS
to use libtiff. See PBMPLUS's Makefile for details on this
configuration.
