+ +This software distribution comes with a small collection of +programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for +manipulating and interogating the contents of TIFF images. Several +of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however +are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the +TIFF library.
++tiffgt | +Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL. +The software makes extensive use of the TIFFRGBAImage +facilities described elsewhere. | +
tiffsv | +A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon +Graphics system. As for tiffgt this code, while written to +use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices. | +
bmp2tiff | +Convert BMP images to TIFF | +
fax2ps | +Convert a Group 3- or Group 4- compressed TIFF to PostScript +that is significantly more compressed than is generated by +tiff2ps (unless tiff2ps writes PS Level II) | +
fax2tiff | +Convert raw Group 3 or Group 4 facsimile data to TIFF | +
gif2tiff | +A quick hack that converts GIF 87a format images to TIFF | +
pal2rgb | +Convert a Palette-style image to a full color RGB image by +applying the colormap | +
ppm2tiff | +A quick hack that converts PPM format images to TIFF | +
ras2tiff | +A quick hack that converts Sun rasterfile format images to TIFF +-- it's less than complete | +
raw2tiff | +Create a TIFF file from raw data | +
rgb2ycbcr | +Convert an RGB, grayscale, or bilevel TIFF image to a YCbCr +TIFF image; it's mainly provided for testing | +
sgi2tiff | +A program to convert SGI image files to TIFF. This program is +only useful on SGI machines as it uses -limage. | +
thumbnail | +Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale +"thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of +how one might use the SubIFD tag (and the library support +for it) | +
tiff2bw | +A simple program to convert a color image to grayscale | +
tiff2pdf | +Convert TIFF images to PDF | +
tiff2ps | +Convert TIFF images to PostScript | +
tiff2rgba | +Convert a TIFF image to RGBA color space | +
tiffcmp | +Compare the contents of two TIFF files (it does not check all +the directory information, but does check all the data) | +
tiffcp | +Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from +Compression=5 to Compression=1) | +
tiffdither | +Dither a b&w image into a bilevel image (suitable for use +in creating fax files) | +
tiffdump | +Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file +(it's very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from +someone that claims they support TIFF) | +
tiffinfo | +Display information about one or more TIFF files. | +
tiffmedian | +A version of Paul Heckbert's median cut program that reads an +RGB TIFF image, and creates a TIFF palette file as a result; it's +useful for converting full-color RGB images to 8-bit color for your +friends that have cheapo 8-bit framebuffers. | +
tiffset | +Set a field in a TIFF header | +
tiffsplit | +Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) +multi-image file | +
Check out the manual pages for details about the above +programs.
