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.
