TIFFSV(1)

NAME
tiffsv - save an image from the framebuffer in a TIFF file (Silicon Graphics version)

SYNOPSIS
tiffsv [ -none ] [ -packbits ] [ -lzw ] [ -contig ] [ -separate ] [ -rowsperstrip n ] [ -b ] name [ x1 x2 y1 y2 ]

DESCRIPTION
Tiffsv saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. By default, the image is saved 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 be overriden, or explicitly specified with the following options: -none (use no compression), -packbits (use the PackBits compression algorithm), -lzw (use Lempel-Ziv & Welch - default), -contig (pack samples - default), -separate (store samples in separate planes), -rowsperstrip n (pack n rows in each strip).

The -b option is included for compatibility with the standard scrsave program- it causes the image to be saved as a greyscale image, as if it were processed by tiff2bw(1).

NOTE
Except for the use of TIFF, this program is equivalent to the standard scrsave program. This means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with the standard icut program simply by creating a link called scrsave, or by creating a shell script called scrsave that invokes tiffgt with the appropriate options.

BUGS
If data are saved compressed and in separate planes, then the rows in each strip is silently set to one to avoid limitations in the libtiff(3) library.
