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.
