     NAME
          pnmtotiff - convert a a portable anymap into a TIFF file

     SYNOPSIS
          pnmtotiff [-none|-packbits| -lzw|-g3|-g4] [-2d] [-fill] [-
          predictor n] [-msb2lsb|-lsb2msb] [-rowsperstrip n] [pnmfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          Reads a portable anymap as input.  Produces a TIFF file as
          output.

     OPTIONS
          By default, pnmtotiff creates a TIFF file with LZW
          compression.  This is your best bet most of the time.
          However, some TIFF readers can't deal with it.  If you want
          to try another compression scheme or tweak some of the other
          even more obscure output options, there are a number of
          flags to play with.

          The -none, -packbits, -lzw, -g3, and -g4 options are used to
          override the default and set the compression scheme used in
          creating the output file.  The CCITT Group 3 and Group 4
          compression algorithms can only be used with bilevel data.
          The -2d and -fill options are meaningful only with Group 3
          compression:  -2d requests 2-dimensional encoding, while -
          fill requests that each encoded scanline be zero-filled to a
          byte boundry.  The -predictor option is only meaningful with
          LZW compression: a predictor value of 2 causes each scanline
          of the output image to undergo horizontal differencing
          before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each scanline to
          be encoded without differencing.

          By default, pnmtotiff creates a TIFF file with msb-to-lsb
          fill order.  The -msb2lsb and -lsb2msb options are used to
          override the default and set the fill order used in creating
          the file.

          The -rowsperstrip option can be used to set the number of
          rows (scanlines) in each strip of data in the output file.
          By default, the output file has the number of rows per strip
          set to a value that will ensure each strip is no more than 8
          kilobytes long.

     BUGS
          This program is not self-contained.  To use it you must
          fetch the TIFF Software package listed in the OTHER.SYSTEMS
          file and configure PBMPLUS to use libtiff.  See PBMPLUS's
          Makefile for details on this configuration.
