By default, the image is saved with data samples packed (<I>PlanarConfiguration</I>=1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (<I>Compression</I>=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can be overriden, or explicitly specified with the options described below. <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>OPTIONS</H2> <DL COMPACT> <DT><B>-b</B> <DD> Save the image as a greyscale image as if it were processed by <I><A HREF="tiff2bw+1.html">tiff2bw</A></I>(1). This option is included for compatibility with the standard <I><A HREF="scrsave+6d">scrsave</A></I>(6D) program. <DT><B>-c</B> <DD> Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file: <B>none </B> for no compression, <B>packbits</B> for PackBits compression, <B>jpeg</B> for baseline JPEG compression, <B>zip</B> for Deflate compression, and <B>lzw</B> for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (default). <DT><DD> <FONT SIZE="-1">LZW</FONT> compression can be specified together with a <I>predictor</I> value. 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. LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated list to the ``lzw'' option; e.g. <B>-c lzw:2</B> for <FONT SIZE="-1">LZW</FONT> compression with horizontal differencing. <DT><B>-p</B> <DD> Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data. By default, <I>tiffsv</I> will create a new file with the data samples packed contiguously. Specifying <B>-p contig</B> will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed together, while <B>-p separate</B> will force samples to be written in separate planes. <DT><B>-r</B> <DD> Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data written to the output file. By default, <I>tiffsv</I> attempts to set the rows/strip that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip. </DL> <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>NOTE</H2> Except for the use of <FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF,</FONT> this program is equivalent to the standard <I>scrsave</I> program. This means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with the standard <I>icut</I> program simply by creating a link called <I>scrsave</I>, or by creating a shell script called <I>scrsave</I> that invokes <I>tiffgt</I> with the appropriate options. <A NAME="lbAG"> </A> <H2>BUGS</H2> 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 <I><A HREF="libtiff+3">libtiff</A></I>(3) library. <A NAME="lbAH"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <I><A HREF="scrsave+6d">scrsave</A></I>(6D) <I><A HREF="pal2rgb+1.html">pal2rgb</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffdump+1.html">tiffdump</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffgt+1.html">tiffgt</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffinfo+1.html">tiffinfo</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffcp+1.html">tiffcp</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffmedian+1.html">tiffmedian</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="libtiff+3">libtiff</A></I>(3) <HR> <A NAME="index"> </A><H2>Index</H2> <DL> <DT><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAE">OPTIONS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAF">NOTE</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAG">BUGS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAH">SEE ALSO</A><DD> </DL> <HR> This document was created by <A HREF="index.html">man2html</A>, using the manual pages.<BR> Time: 01:31:48 GMT, November 23, 1999 </BODY> </HTML>
