NAME

       gif2tiff - create a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file

SYNOPSIS

       gif2tiff [ options ] input.gif output.tif

DESCRIPTION

       Gif2tiff converts a file in the GIF87 format to TIFF.  The TIFF image is created as a palette image, with
       samples  compressed  with  the  Lempel-Ziv  & Welch algorithm (Compression=5).  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 zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and
              -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

       -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.

NOTES

       The program is based on Paul Haeberli's fromgif program which, in turn, is based on Marcel J.E. Mol's GIF
       reader.

BUGS

       Should have more options to control output format.
