NAME

       tiff_findskew - determine text skew angle

SYNOPSIS

       tiff_findskew [-options] TIFF_file

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  file  in TIFF format as input.  Writes out the skew angle (in degrees, floating-
       point decimal).  The skew angle is defined as the angle by which the image must be rotated
       counterclockwise to obtain a normally oriented text with horizontal lines.

OPTIONS

       -options
              So  far  no  options  are  implemented.  In  the future, tiff_findskew might accept
              options.

       TIFF_file
              Name of a TIFF file containing a black/white bitmap.  (The file should be  readable
              by libtiff tools.)
