SGI2TIFF(1)

NAME
sgi2tiff - create a TIFF file from an SGI image file

SYNOPSIS
sgi2tiff [ -none ] [ -packbits ] [ -lzw ] [ -rowsperstrip n ] image-file tiff-file

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 overriden, or explicitly specified with the following options: -none (use no compression), -packbits (use the PackBits compression algorithm), -lzw (use Lempel-Ziv & Welch - default), -rowsperstrip n (pack n rows in each strip). Any colormap information in the rasterfile is carried over to the TIFF file by including a Colormap tag in the output file. If the rasterfile has a colormap, the PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 3 (palette); otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB) if the depth is 24 or 1 (min-is-black) if the depth is not 24.

BUGS
Does not record colormap information.
